Ingredients

Units Scale

FOR THE CORN MAYO:

  • 3 ears sweet corn, grilled until slightly charred and kernels removed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

FOR THE BURGERS:

  • 2 pounds ground beef, 80/20
  • 2 small jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
  • 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese

FOR SERVING:

  • 8 toasted hamburger buns
  • 6 lettuce leaves
  • sliced tomato
  • sliced red onion

Instructions

  1. FOR THE MAYO: In the bowl of a small food processor; add the mayo, corn kernels, garlic, salt and pepper. Pulse a few times until combined. The mayo should be chunky still with a few kernels of corn. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. FOR THE BURGERS: In a large bowl break up the two pounds of ground chuck. Add the onions, jalapeno, cilantro, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Use a fork to gently combine the ingredients. Divide the meat into six portions and form into patties, making a shallow divot in the center of each. Preheat grill to high. Once hot, reduce the temperature to medium/medium-high and place the burgers onto the grills grate. Cover and grill for 5-6 minutes. Flip the burgers and place the cheddar on top of each burger and grill for 4-6 more minutes or until desired doneness.
  3. Top the toasted buns with the corn mayo, lettuce, burger patties, tomato and red onion and serve.
