Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef
  • ½ tbs Kosher salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
  • ½ cup Hot Pepper Jelly or more
  • 1 cup Guacamole (homemade or store-bought) or more
  • Rolls
  • Greens

Instructions

  • Season your ground beef with salt and pepper. Let it hangout for a bit so the flavors mingle.
  • Mix lightly once more and firmly form into patties. Place on a large plate or baking sheet (about 7-8 burgers).
  • Cover and chill 30 minutes.
  • If you have chilled the burgers longer, allow them to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
  • Season all sides of the burgers with additional salt and pepper.
  • Clean, oil and heat grill, once hot place burgers onto the grill and cook until done to your liking. Once you flip the burger, baste the cooked side with some of the hot pepper jelly, when you remove the burgers, baste the other side.
  • Assemble burgers, rolls, greens & guac. Add an additional dollop of jelly on top of the burger, place bun top on, smush it down a bit and dig in!

Notes

If you notice by burger is cooked to medium. I grinded my own ground beef from a large subprimal cut (after slicing down ribeye steaks and a butchers cut steak aka rib cap steak). I used the rest for ground beef. 
Because of that I am comfortable cooking the burger to medium. As far as typical grocery store ground beef, use you judgement and when in doubt follow the USDA recommendations for handling of ground beef and proper internal temperature.
*Nutritional calculator does not have hot pepper jelly information, so add in whatever calories etc from the brand you chose to use (or homemade).
