Jalapeno Blitz Burger
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Heinen’s Jalapeño Blitz Burgers
- 4 slices Great Lakes Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Heinen’s Canola Oil
- 1 large Vidalia onion, peeled and cut into very thin rings
- Fine sea salt
- Heinen’s Scallion Cream Cheese
- 4 potato hamburger buns, lightly toasted
- Heinen’s Original Kettle Chips
Instructions
- On an indoor grill pan or outdoor grill, cook burgers to your liking. For medium doneness, grill each side for about 5 minutes, or until internal cooking temperature reaches 140-145°F.
- Top each burger with a slice of cheese during the last couple of minutes of cook time. Allow burgers to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- While the burgers rest, heat ½ inch of canola oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot (it should bubble around the handle of a wooden spoon when inserted into the oil), fry the onions, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer onions to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
- Spread a layer of scallion cream cheese on the bottom buns and top with burgers, crispy fried onions, and top buns.
- Serve with kettle chips.
