Makes

2 servings

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup cider vinegar
• 1/2 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
• 6 ounces ground beef or bison
• 1/4 pound fresh chorizo or bulk spicy pork sausage
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 sesame seed hamburger buns, split
• 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons peeled and grated horseradish

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk sugar, water and vinegar together until sugar is dissolved. Add red onion and jalapeno; let stand at least 1 hour.
2. Combine beef and chorizo; shape beef into two 3/4-in.-thick patties. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 6-8 minutes on each side. Grill buns over medium heat, cut side down, until toasted, 30-60 seconds. Drain pickled vegetables. Serve burgers on buns with spinach, pickled vegetables, and horseradish.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
