Deano's Southwestern Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Burger W/ Avocado and Mushrooms

This is as easy to make as a regular cheese burger. The crushed Deano's Jalapeno Chips give this burger a great jalapeno flavor without going over the top. Often when we cook with these chips the flavor is different than if you were to eat the chip by itself, it mellows out and gives you a very nice chili flavor and level of heat.

Ingredients

1 pound burger
1/3 to 1/2 bag of Deano's Jalapenos crushed (any flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cheddar slices, we prefer a good Vermont cheese such as Cabot Cheddar, X-Sharp
4-6 slices of thick cut bacon, Vermont Smoke and Cure
1 Avocado
6 Button mushrooms,Sliced and Sauteed
2-3 fresh roasted green chili's if possible or canned
Lettuce, Tom and onion
Good hamburger buns

Pre heat your grill so it is nice and hot. A hot grill will sear the out side of the burgers and help keep the juices in. Warm grills are for slow cooking and melting cheese.
In a bowl mix burger and crushed Deano's Jalapenos pinch of salt and a quick grind of black pepper, mix well.

Place burgers on grill, at the same time I like to grill my bacon. This can be very tricky because the bacon fat likes to catch on fire. so you can make a plate out of tin foil with little side to keep the fat off the grill. It's much safer that way. If you are not good with a grill, DO NOT GRILL BACON.


Watch your bacon

As burgers are getting close to desired doneness turn down heat on the grill, place green chili's and cheese on the burgers. I like to grill my buns at this time as well. Warm up your sauteed mushrooms and slice your avocado. A little L,T,O. and your almost done. Put it all together and don't forget to put a couple of un-crushed Jalapeno chips on top for a one of a kind garnish. I doing this with a little Kraft mac and cheese.
