The “Big Popper” Burger {With Strawberry Dipping Sauce}

Course Dinner
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 burgers

Ingredients

  • 1lb ground beef formed into 4, 1/4 lb burger patties
  • 1 tsp onion salt
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 jalepeños sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese

Berry Sauce

  • Approximately 1 cup strawberries (or any berry of your choice) chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Mix your salt, onion salt, garlic powder, and paprika together to make your burger seasoning. Season both sides of your patties liberally.
  2. GRILL (yelled, only because this blog started out as High Heels and GRILLS) on medium-high heat for approximately 3 minutes, each side. For excellent burger preparing/grilling techniques, visit this other post here.
  3. While the burgs are grilling, get your butter all melty and warm in a frying pan. Before the butter browns, add your sliced jalepeños and fry for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and get your peppers out with a slotted spoon, keeping any butter and juices in the pan. Set jalepeños aside, except for one slice (spoiler alert, you will use it in the berry mixture).
  4. Combine your strawberries, sugar, and one jalepeño slice together in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Then, transfer the berry mixture back into the pan you just used for the jalepeños (don’t clean out the pan). Bring the berry mixture to a light boil, stirring frequently. It should reduce a little and get syrup-y. Remove from heat after about 5 minutes.
  5. Assemble your burgers by putting the cooked patty down on the bun first, add a slice (about 1 oz) of cream cheese on top of the patty, place a few jalepeño slices on top of the cream cheese, and then, if desired, drizzle about a tablespoon of berry syrup on top of that. Or, you can do what we do and just dip your burgers in the sauce.
