Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 pieces white bread, crusts removed, then cut into 1/4 inch cubes
- 1/3 cup milk
- 3 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 clove garlic, chopped finely
- 1 1/2 tsp Hy’s or Lawry’s seasoning salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Maggi’s sauce or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 large jalapeño peppers, seeds and stems removed, then chopped (add more or less if you prefer)
- 1/2 – 1 cup cubed cheddar cheese (1/4 inch cubes)
- 4 pieces of bacon (not cooked), chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, first mix together the bread and milk into a paste.
- Then add the beef, garlic, seasoning salt, pepper, Maggi’s (or soy sauce), Worcestershire sauce and ketchup. Mix well.
- Mix in the chopped jalapeño peppers, cheese and bacon.
- Shape the mixture into patties. I usually make mine about 5 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick.
- The patties are best left to rest in the fridge or freezer for at least 1 hour before barbecuing.
- Grill on a medium to high heat grill, taking care not to cook the burgers too fast or the cheese will melt out.
- Cook until the burger is well done, with no pink inside.
- Serve on a bun with all your favourite trimmings.
- Enjoy!
