MM Local Chile Hamburgers

These burgers are great, easy, and as spicy as you like 'em.

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1/2 jar MM Local High Desert Peppers (HOT or mild), drained and diced
• 2 lbs ground beef (we used grassfed beef from Lasater Grasslands Beef
• 3 cloves diced garlic (or, this time of year, 4 diced garlic scapes make a good local substitute)
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Fire up the grill and remove beef from refrigerator - we like to make sure that meat has heated up to ambient temperature prior to grilling.

To make burgers, mix ground beef in a medium bowl with diced peppers, garlic, salt and pepper. Once thoroughly mixed, form into hamburger patties. Toss on the grill, cook to taste and enjoy. As always, be careful to clean all materials and hands that have touched raw meat!
