Bunker Gear For the burger- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 fat content) 1 ½ Tbs Worcestershire Sauce 1 1/2 Tbs Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix (or: 1 Tbs garlic powder and 2 tsp onion powder) 1/2 Tbs sugar 1 tsp normal table salt 1/2 tsp black pepper Putting it together- jalapeno peppers 1/4 tsp chili powder 1/4 tsp garlic powder pinch of black pepper 2 Tbs mayo 1-2 tsp hot sauce pepper-jack cheese avocado slices

1 For the burgers, add the Worcestershire Sauce to the ground beef and work it through with the best tool in your kitchen – your hands.

2 Mix all of the dry spices together and then add to the ground beef. Mix well, but sparingly. Don’t overwork the meat or it can get tough when cooked.

3 For 1/3-lb burgers, divide the ground beef into three equal portions. Grill over Medium-High Heat for 5 mins, flip, and then grill the 2nd side for 3-4 mins (remove when the internal temp is about 150 degrees).

4 Slice the jalapeno(s) in half lengthwise. Over Medium-High Heat, grill each side for 3-4 mins until they start to blister and char.

5 For the sauce, mix the chili pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper with the mayo. Add your favorite hot sauce to taste (1-2 tsp). Stir to bring the flavors together.

6 Build your burger: bottom bun, spicy mayo, cooked burger, melted pepper-jack cheese, charred jalapeno slices, avocado, and then the top bun. Want to level up? Add some bacon.
