Texas Tailgate Burger

In Texas we take football and tailgating PRETTY seriously. I developed this burger at the start of college football season a couple years ago as a way to combine some tailgate favorites: burgers, barbecue, and chips. You will need either a cold beer or a Texas tea to wash this bad boy down!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground chuck
  • 1 cup pickled jalapeños, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce (either use your favorite, or use my recipe at the end of instructions)
  • 2 cups shredded smoked sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced sweet onion (I use Texas 1015, naturally)
  • 6 onion hamburger buns
  • 1 handful barbecue-flavored potato chips (kettle style is best)
  • 1 piece sliced dill pickles
  • 1 handful Chopped iceberg lettuce (we are going for crunch, not vitamins, here!)
