Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 peppers Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese (slices)
• 4 pieces Brioche buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato (sliced)
• 1 small Red onion (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeños

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

Roughly chop the chipotle peppers and place them in a small bowl. Stir in the honey, mayonnaise, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside the Smoking Chipotle Honey Sauce.

Step 3

Heat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and allow it to melt.

Step 4

While the patties cook, spread butter on the brioche buns and toast them on the grill or in a pan until golden brown.

Step 5

To assemble the Blazing Bronco Burgers, spread a generous layer of the Smoking Chipotle Honey Sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a slice of red onion, a cooked patty with melted cheese, and a sprinkle of pickled jalapeños. Finish with the top bun.

Step 6

Serve the burgers immediately with extra sauce on the side for dipping and enjoy a delicious balance of smoky, spicy, and sweet!
