Jalapeño Popper Burgers
Description
Okay keto people! This one is for YOU 🙂 This jalapeño burger is AMAZING….and messy…but mostly amazing!
If you are a little nervous about the jalapeño being too hot, just make sure to de-seed them well and you can cook them a bit before adding them to the burger to bring that heat level down a bit.
I highly recommend you use hormone free, antibiotic free, nitrate/nitrite free and grass fed and finished whenever you have such options with your animal products. Any of those attributes in your food will be part of your own system once you eat it. You don’t want that added inflammation, hormone imbalance, etc. to contend with!
