These are so freakin good. The best burgers I've ever had. Even my husband who is usually wimpy about anything with jalapenos loved it. I did add hot pepper sauce, black pepper, and worcestorshire (sp??) sauce. I also used lots of jarred jalapenos slices. In the end it had a little bite to it but not extremely spicy. My dad thought they were so great that he hid the last one on us so he could have it later in the day.

Nice, healthy change to a standard hamburger. Was not spicy like I thought it would be.

Nice blend of burger mix-ins, not a very strong flavor though. I didn't have pepperjack, so I added another jalapeno and "stuffed" the patties with cream cheese. I also used a little worcestire, though I don't know it really did anything. Either way, a good quick and simple recipe to use as a kick-start for many ideas. You could top with cheddar instead, or season with cumin/red pepper, etc. I topped mine with some Defcon hot sauce.

Delicious! I made half of this recipe, and I added about 1/4 teaspoon each of cumin and chili powder along with a dash of salt for flavor and an egg to hold it together. I did cook the burgers in a skillet, but I imagine these are amazing on the grill! I didn't have any pepper jack, so I used colby jack instead, and served on toasted 9-grain ciabatta bread. SO good!

I liked this burger. I added an extra jalapeno (with seeds) and some salt and pepper. Yum.

As is the recipe lacked flavor, which is why I only gave it a 3. To pump up the flavor I doubled the amount of onion, then sauteed the onion and garlic till caramel colored, added 1 TBSP of freshly ground black pepper and 1 tsp salt. I used diced pickled jalapenos instead of fresh. I skipped the cheese and I missed it. Next time I think I will try extra sharp cheddar.

This was okay. I read reviews that it could be bland, so I followed another review to add a teaspoon of Montreal Steak Seasoning. That was to the halved recipe so I thought it'd be extra flavorful. I also left the seeds in the jalapeno for spice, and made guacamole to top it. It was unfortunately still bland. I'll stick with the Tex-Mex Cajun Burger from this site. It has the same base as this burger, but the Cajun seasoning makes it outrageous. Thanks for the recipe - it's a good basic burger.

Not sure if I should be rating or not since I deviated from the original recipe. I didn't have fresh jalapeno so I used canned. I should have added more though, not spicy enough with the canned. Also only used one clove of garlic, and added about half a tsp of mccormick hamburger grill seasoning, salt and peppered the outside, and served on grilled texas toast with some grilled onions. I think with the fresh jalapenos and a little extra salt, these would have been perfect. I did add an egg to make sure it didn't fall apart on the grill as well as a small toss of bread crumbs to soak up some of the egg.

Delicious! Tasty with a bit of a kick. If you don't like onions or spicy stuff go for a different burger, but if you do these are just right. You can adjust the amount of peppers, just don't overdo the onions or the burgers won't stay together well. Great on whole wheat buns.
