Recipe Summary Spicy Serrano Burgers
Delicious 1/4-pound beef burgers that provide a mouthwatering flavor explosion of roasted, coffee-like, buttery goodness with enough (but not too much!) spice that lingers in your mouth until you finish the last beer in the cooler.Ingredients | Easy Ground Beef Recipes With Few Ingredients Healthy
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
¼ cup dark beer (such as Guinness®)
1 (6 inch) serrano pepper, diced
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers
Directions
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Mix ground beef, beer, serrano pepper, and butter together in a bowl; form into 4 patties.
Cook the burgers on the preheated grill for 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking for 3 minutes. Top each burger with 1 slice Monterey Jack cheese and cook until burgers are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
