Add Step-by-Step Photos	Lunasea / All my dishes 2 years ago This decadent burger is loaded with flavor and goodness. It's a meal unto itself. I like to brush a little oil on thick (1/4 to 1/2") onion slices and grill them along side the burgers. Keep an eye on them and turn them when grill marks appear. F...

Ingredients

Spicy Ranch Sauce:

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

6 tablespoons fresh lime juice

4 green onions, finely chopped

2 tablespoons minced seeded jalapeño chile (check the heat of your jalapeno and if you're looking for heat, you may want to add more)

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

****

Burgers:

2 pounds ground beef

1 small onion, chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon chopped seeded jalapeño chile

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

****

Worcestershire-Coffee Glaze

1/3 cup light corn syrup

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals

2 teaspoons (packed) golden brown sugar

3 tablespoons butter

16 bacon slices

Nonstick vegetable oil spray

8 hamburger buns or 3- to 4-inch square focaccia rolls, split horizontally

8 lettuce leaves

2 cups coarsely shredded sharp white cheddar cheese (or your favorite shredded or sliced cheese)

Tomato slices

****

Onion slices (cut 1/4" - 1/2" thick)

Oil (vegetable, olive oil, etc.)

Directions

For spicy ranch sauce:

Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

****

For burgers:

Gently mix all ingredients in large bowl. Form mixture into eight 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick patties. Place on small baking sheet. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.

****

For glaze:

Stir first 5 ingredients in small saucepan over medium heat until coffee is dissolved. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter. Season glaze to taste with salt and pepper.

****

Working in batches if necessary, cook bacon in large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and brown. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.

****

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).

Cut onions into 1/4"-to 1/2" slices. Brush lightly on both sides with oil; salt and pepper. Set aside for grilling.

Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Toast buns until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer buns, cut side up, to plates. Place lettuce on each bun bottom.

Grill burgers and onion slices 5 minutes, basting with glaze.

**NOTE: Watch onion slices for grill marks...carefully turn over - to keep slices intact - and grill on other side.

Turn burgers, baste with glaze, and grill until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes longer for medium.

Press cheese atop each burger and allow cheese to melt. Place some sauce, then 1 burger on each bun bottom. Top each with 2 slices bacon, grilled onion slices and any other desired additional toppings. Cover with bun top.

Serve with remaining sauce.

I think I'll make this tonight. I have most of the ingredients, unfortunately not jalepenos, but I'm sure I can fudge it to make the burgers turn out mostly like your recipe. Do you have any suggestions?

Yummmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought the burgers would have been better for us without the chopped onion- the onion "rawness" was overwhelming. Next time we'll try it without. Good recipe though- thanks :)

Awesome burger, that is simply amazing. I like the worchestershire glaze. Love that stuff, can't say it, but love it. LOL This burger should be in a contest..Isn't it the Sonoma wine contest for best burger? You should enter and win.

Hi Luna. I have finally had the time to try these burgers and they were a great success! A nice bite to the burgers and which were given an extra dimension with the glaze. The sauce was both spicy and refreshing and I loved it (I halved the amount of mayonnaise and sour creme though). This will be a new favourite, perfect for summer around the bbq. Thanks for the recipe Luna!
