Burgers with a ZING!

4 pounds ground chuck
5 fresh jalapeno peppers
1 egg
1/4 cup Heinz 57 steak sauce
1/4 cup minced white onion
1 teaspoon Tabasco™ or your favorite hot pepper sauce
1 pinch dried oregano
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 cup Fritos corn chips, crushed
8 large hamburger buns
8 slices pepperjack cheese
Lettuce
Sliced tomato
Sliced onion
Salt and pepper to taste



Preheat a grill to high heat
When the grill is ready, roast the jalapeno peppers until blackened on all sides
Place the peppers in a plastic bag to sweat and loosen the blackened skin
Rub the skin off the peppers (use disposable latex gloves), then seed and dice (leaving seeds will increase the "heat" alot)
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, pepper, egg, steak sauce, onion, hot pepper sauce, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and Fritos
Divide meat mixture into 8 balls and flatten into patties
Grill patties for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once (burgers are done at 160 degrees F)
Butter the hamburger buns and either place on grill or warm in oven
Remove hamburger buns and dress with lettuce, sliced tomato and sliced onion
Top each burger just before removing from grill with a slice of pepperjack cheese allowing the cheese to melt slightly
Remove each of the burgers from the grill and place on buns
