This is my favorite time of year, when it gets cool enough to enjoy sitting out on our back porch again, relaxing with a nice glass of wine while watching the cardinals that have returned to our back yard.  We are grabbing every opportunity we can to grill outside before winter makes it uncomfortable.

A couple of nights ago, we made some delicious grilled burgers, better than anything from a fast food place and almost as easy to make.

Grilled Jalapeno Burgers

2.25 lbs. Ground Beef

1 Pkt. Dry Onion Soup Mix (I used Lipton’s)

1/4 Cup Worchestershire Sauce

Pepperjack Cheese, optional

Sliced Jalapenos, optional

Start by combining the ground beef, dry soup mix and worchestershire sauce in a large bowl.  Form the meat into six 6 oz. patties.

Place the burgers on a prepared grill and cook until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, get your toppings ready to go.  We use lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pepperjack and American cheeses, and sliced jalapenos.

I served the burgers with some oven-baked french fries.  Yes, they really are good and you save all that fat and calories and mess you get when you fry french fries.  I use Ore Ida Fast Food Style French Fries.  Simply spread them out in a single layer on a sheet pan and spray them generously with some non-stick spray.  Cook them in a 350 deg. oven for 25-30 minutes, until crisp.  Sprinkle with salt and serve.

Try your own Grilled Jalapeno Burger and Oven-Baked Fries and you may have to keep your grill ready to go all winter.
