Made as listed. A little too tomato-y.

Burger tasted good.A little overboard on the garlic, I'll cut back down to 2 cloves next time. Topped off the burger with some jack cheese.

Made the exactly as called for in the recipe and loved them. You definitely have to like jalapenos to enjoy this recipe. They are very good with a slice of cheese too!

I just tried this recipe with modifications and it came out great. I increased the amount of garlic and left out the cilantro. I used fresh garlic and fresh home grown jalepenos. The tomato paste didn't sound appetizing so I used 1 tbs of Worcestershire sauce instead. I used a recipe for Cajun spice mix submitted by Bobbie Jean on allrecipes. I topped it all off with a slice of swiss cheese. I will definitely make this again.

We make these all the time...but a variation. The way I make them is hamburger (the higher fat content beef grills best, but we use a lean, organic beef), habanero chiles, diced white onion, cilantro, and ground sea salt. I do it all to sight/taste...we like a lot of heat, and lots of cilantro and onion. We love these burgers...I came up with our variation based on the "Mexicali Burgers" at Burgers and Beer in Yuma, AZ. We serve them on buns brushed with a little butter or mayonnaise and then grilled.

My husband liked it and I did too. We had it all doctored up with the standard buns, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and ketchup. Boy it was good. But....... Here we go... I tried a piece of the hamburger by itself and was not impressed at all.

I didn't think that these had a whole lot of flavor compared to regular burgers. Maybe it was because I scrapped the jalapeno seeds out, which is where the heat is.

I really liked this recipe. It is easy to make and tasted really good. I would have like a little more spice and so will put in more jalapeno peppers and maybe add some chillies but will def make again. Thanks

Yum. I did change this a some. I used ground turkey instead of ground meat. I left out the cilantro. 4 tablespoon of any seasoning seemed like way too much for me. I used 1 tablespoon of greek seasoning. I think even if I used Cajun seasoning I still would have only used 1 tablespoon. This was great for a low cal hamburger. If you use jalapenos from a jar you need to use less. Jarred jalapenos have the seeds mixed in which causes the fire reviewers are discribing. If you use fresh and seed them you could eat as many as you want. Thanks Melissa P

These burgers were fantastic!! I served them at a BBQ I was having and everyone raved about them. I used jalapeños in the jar and a little more garlic than the recipe called for and they turned out sooo good. Definitely will be making them again.

I loved the flavors of the burgers. I topped them with cheddar cheese which took away a little from the flavor but they were still a big hit!

The burgers were ok, but I think the tomato paste was to much for me. I might try them without the paste next time.

Great taste! I had a little trouble keeping the burgers together on the grill(probably my fault) but next time I may add an egg the mixture.

We enjoyed these very much. I cut back on the jalapeño pepper (I used the kind from a jar) and the cajun seasoning by about half and still found it had quite a kick. I can't imagine it full strength! My mouth was on fire.
