Wine Varietal:

Ingredients

  • Habanero Cheese Spread:
  • 8 ounces shredded habanero cheddar cheese
  • 2/3 Cup mayonnaise
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Wild West Slaw:
  • 1/4 Cup honey mustard
  • 6 tablespoons barbeque sauce
  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 Cups shredded coleslaw mix (green cabbage, carrot and red cabbage)
  • Bacon:
  • 12 slices bacon
  • Patties:
  • 2 1/2 Pounds ground round
  • 2 Teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 Cup picante sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Additional ingredients:
  • Vegetable oil for brushing the grill rack
  • 6 good quality hamburger rolls, split
  • 3 ounces barbeque potato chips

Instructions

  • Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat.
  • Prepare the habanero cheese spread:
  • Place the cheese, mayonnaise, scallions, garlic, salt and black pepper into a medium bowl, mix together to fully combine.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble burgers.
  • Prepare the slaw:
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the honey mustard, barbeque sauce and mayonnaise until fully combined.
  • Add in the slaw mix and mix until fully coated with dressing; cover and set aside until ready to assemble burgers.
  • Prepare the bacon:
  • Place a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil onto grill.
  • Fold up the edges to create a 1-inch rim (in order to hold the bacon grease while bacon cooks).
  • Place bacon onto the foil, in a single layer, and cook until it is crisp, approximately 8 – 10 minutes, turning the bacon once during the cooking process.
  • Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain, set aside.
  • Very carefully remove foil from the grill and dispose of.
  • (You could also use a disposable rimmed aluminum foil pan in place of the heavy-duty aluminum foil.)
  • Prepare the patties:
  • Place the ground round, garlic, picante sauce, lime zest, lime juice, salt and black pepper into a large bowl. Handling the meat as little as possible, mix well.
  • Form the mixture into 6 equal patties to fit the rolls.
  • Brush the grill rack with vegetable oil.
  • Place the patties on the grill rack and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium.
  • During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place the rolls, cut side down, around the edge of the grill to toast lightly.
  • To assemble the burgers, evenly divide the slaw onto the bottom halves of the rolls, top evenly with the potato chips, a burger, and the bacon.
  • Spread the habanero cheese spread onto cut side of top halves of the rolls, place cheese side down on top of the burgers.

Immediately spread a thin layer of goat cheese on bottom half of roll and a more generous layer of goat cheese on the top half of the roll. Starting with the bottom half of the roll, layer spinach, red onion and grilled patty. Spoon a generous dollop of huckleberry jam on patty, sprinkle with smoked salmon before adding top half of the roll.
