Ingredients
- 12 ounces ground pork
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Serrano pepper chopped
- 1 Ghost Pepper chopped (or use ghost pepper powder)
- 1 small white onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili powder – or try a nice Cajun or Creole seasoning blend
- ¼ cup panko
- 2-3 ounces cheese curds
- roasted jalapeno peppers sliced – for serving
- 2 toasted onion rolls for serving
FOR THE GHOST PEPPER-MUSTARD AOILI
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
- ½ teaspoon ghost pepper powder
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Dash of Salt
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Get your aioli going first by adding egg yolk, mustard, ghost pepper powder, lemon juice and salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Drizzle in olive oil while whisking vigorously, until the mixture emulsifies and forms a thick mayo. Stir in parsley and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the burgers, add ground pork to a mixing bowl.
- Heat a pan to medium heat and olive oil. Add peppers and onion and cook about 6 minutes to soften, stirring.
- Add garlic and cook another minute until you can smell that beautiful garlic.
- Remove from heat, cool, and add mixture to the pork.
- Add panko and hand mix, but do not over mix or it might become mealy. Form into 2 patties.
- Bring your pan back to medium heat and cook 5-6 minutes per side, or until the burgers are cooked through.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Top the burgers with cheese curds and bake until the cheese is nicely melted, about 10 minutes.
- Top with roasted jalapeno slices and your Ghost Pepper-Mustard Aioli. Serve!
