OH MY GOSH!! My daughter and I made these tonight and they were SO good. No joke. I have never made a hamburger where you feel compelled to say, "This is so good!" with every bite. it sounds like I am exaggerating, but I am not. We both said that 6-7 times while eating it. I used serrano peppers instead of fresno. For the mayo, I didn't want to make it from scratch, so I used a little less than 1.5 cups of mayo, minced the garlic, and then also put in the salt, vinegar, lemon juice and chili oil. I will use less salt next time. Oh man! I'm telling you. This recipe takes 2 hours. It is WORTH IT. Thanks my dude can cook.

FYI - When buying jalapenos, the ones that look the prettiest are generally the weakest. The glossy and shiny skin is an indication that they were picked early and are sans spice. If you see ones that look a bit more matted and even better, have those lines that look kinda like stretch marks, it's an indication that they were picked later in the cycle and have higher concentrations of capsaicin in them.

[@scatman1009]

What about the one with white spots on them?

[@Dubberzz]

@@scatman1009 As long as they aren't fuzzzy it's most likely sunscald. It's a cosmetic issue. It doesn't make them unsafe in anyway. Not sure if it alters the development in a way that would affect capcaisan levels or flavor.

1:50 pro tip for cleaning strainers, sieves, the demonic side of the box grater, garlic presses, and other fiddly items... use a toothbrush! keep one by the sink next to the sponges. Whenever you rinse a sieve after cleaning it there will always be a little patch with debris stuck to it, whip out the tooth brush to unblock the little gaps, saves a lot of time

[@itsallgoodaversa]

Love the stylized veg prep and the Marcus cameo. More dope montages with music please! Thanks dude.

[@jeremycharbonneau8031]

You introduced me to fresno chillies now i have 8 plants in my garden! So good thank you.

[@matthewantonello5029]

you should add the acid ingredients directly to the eggs. the eggs need a high concentration of acid to sterilize which is what makes it shelf stable. If you add the oil first, the concentration drops and so does the sterilization process.

Hey, don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I kinda prefer just talking and explaining what you do for the veg prep instead of the montage cause some times I'll listen while playing a game to see if it's something I wanna cook before really watching the whole thing 😅 love your recipes tho

Grinding meat is less trouble if you keep the grinder/attachment in the freezer in a ziplock. Take it out first and let it warm up a little, use it, then back in the bag in the freezer. No need to wash.

[@morgastic23]

Keeping it in the freezer full time is such a great idea, I'm gonna start doing that 😊

[@blairhoughton7918]

No room. Also, yes wash. Unless you like beef in your pork, freezer burn in your burgers, and bacteria growing little by little over a decade. I'm not here to judge.

[@CraigMader]

​@@blairhoughton7918No room? Not my problem. Rinse or wash it when you need to. Use common sense. This tip is for people who grind a lot or want to grind more but are intimidated. Obvious details are up to you. I learned this from a professional long ago, and it fuckin works. I'm a restaurant guy, and we dont usually have time to think for you, so sue me for not being there to tell you when to do stuff. Stand mixer attachment meat grinders are small, and if you're into grinding meat and cooking a lot, you're going to want more cold storage anyway. I'm a licensed food service manager, as well, and you wont get dinged on inspection for this in my state. Its frozen and dessicated. No bacteria can live there. You're not using it for tartar, for chrissakes.

[@blairhoughton7918]

@@CraigMader If you put it in a Ziploc it's not going to be desiccated. And yes, bacteria can survive being frozen and thawed out again, wet or dry. Listeria can even multiply below freezing temperature. And cooks aren't guaranteed to get ground meat up to 165F every time. So congratulations, you got lucky AF not killing anyone while you were feeding possible colonies of microbes fresh meat every day and spreading them into the rest of it. I have no explanation for your state's lack of common sense sanitation policy.

[@itwillgroweventually]

When I don't have jalapenos growing in my garden, I substitute store-bought Serranos they have a better flavor and more spice.

[@larryedens2581]

DUDE! I made a version of this burger tonight. The BEST burger I’ve ever made or bought! I made your rosemary salt and seasoned the meat with that. Then I made the jam. Mine reduced in half the time using a 6 qt. dutch oven. I didn’t make the aioli, just used yellow mustard. But the smash burger with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, Colby Jack cheese and that incredible jalapeño bacon jam was stellar! Thank you! So glad I didn’t make it a double burger! Now we have 2 patties for tomorrow night’s dinner!

[@onerainiday]

Over the top creativity and flavor!❤❤❤

[@Bloodshade]

Reminder: jalapeños are different than they used to be, they are less spicy because everyone started going to one variety that transports better. Try to find local growers before going to the store

[@jayfagan3281]

Dude!! That aioli is outrageous!!! Just dipped some fries 🍟 made from leftover baked potatoes. Super delicious/thx

I love the fleet of mason jars in the back ground. I have the plastic storage containers that are “air tight” but the damn cupboard moths still get into them… may have to give that a try

[@rogermccaslin5963]

I've been disappointed with jalapenos that have no heat on more than one occasion so I've been using serranos for 4 or 5 years. They are hotter than a typical jalapeno so you need to take that into consideration. I like to get some color on them on the grill before putting them in whatever I'm making. I think it enhances the flavor. Those burgers look outstanding and that jam sounds like some next level stuff.

[@andersmogensen2819]

Im 100% gonna make that, but Im gonna char the bell pepper first - more sweet, more good!

I made this today and worried the whole time that it was going to taste too much like apple cider vinegar because that's all it smells like once you add it and reduce it down. Powerfully so.. but it tastes really good and sweet and spicy and savoury. I'm really impressed with how good it tastes.. and that's without fresno chilies because we couldn't find 'em in our local grocer. Cheers from Canada, Sonny.. great recipe.

[@Dayison]

Dooooooode! This stuff is amazing! I didn't think it was ever going to cook down, but it did and is just incredible! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Twisting_Travel]

It's so delicious

[@joshuarock8223]

I don’t remember where I saw it but I once saw a video of a lady testing jalapeños with lines lengthways vs without lines, she concluded that jalapeños WITH the lines are hotter than those without. Perhaps you might be able to verify this? Love the show!

[@sumontalukder-p1q]

So good recipe

[@virtuestreams2616]

Just made this dish today/-fantastic!

[@yumytummy]

how long could the bacon jam be stored in the fridge?

[@__Logan]

Sonny would you consider leaving the pith of the jalapeno in when making the jam to keep more of the heat? It's tough when you obviously don't want the seeds in your jam, but as you know the pith is where the heat is at!

[@s_world344]

Yummy jam I loved it.

[@all5hrzns99]

Maybe some advice for anyone that has never tried this. It can be a lot to do inside your regular kitchen. Loud. Hot. Splashy. Messy. and the volume of the output is really just one or two people until you gotta go outside. But the results are indeed delicious :)

[@Grayald]

That's fantastic. Can't wait to try that on my next smashburgers. I'm also imagining how much it would improve meatloaf. Also, I don't know if you've ever tried this because it's a weird thing I do when I do my smash burgers, but I don't even bother with the paper anymore. I pick up the ball and then smack it down on a flat surface to make a flat bottom. Then I throw that on the griddle for a bit to get a crust to start forming. Flip it over and then smash it down on the partially crusted side. A little thing but I just love that I don't have to use paper anymore to prevent stickage. Other than that, treat it as normal.

[@eldiabloblanco3167]

I've often wondered how some peppers are just not at all spicy and others are. I grow Habeneros and whenever I harvest them I can never tell which ones are going to be sweet and great for jams - and which are going to taste like straight up capsaicin and are perfect for sauces until I cut it open and try it.

[@ryandavis2464]

I just made this last night. If you do this in larger cookware be very careful about the medium heat. It only took about 45 minutes for the mixture to reduce and it ended up slightly on the thick side and a little brown. I think I lost a lot of the flavor from the peppers/chilis so just be careful out there!
