I’m super excited to share today’s recipe—not only because these mini burgers are totally addictively delicious, but also because i LOVE GameDay food, LOVE my food in mini’s and LOVE finding shortcuts to do that! Oh and did I mention these mini burgers have a fabulous kick from a new favorite habanero sauce I came across—The El Yucateco® !

I picked my sauces at my Walmart, and I found them at the ethnic isle with all the Mexican salsas. They’re cute tiny glass bottles of PURE authentic habanero goodness—not your usual vinegar stuff. You actually DO taste the habanero which is why they add plenty of flavor to my mini burgers and sauces. These sauces come from Field to Bottle–no artificial colors, but the same great taste that makes it the King of Flavor since 1968. And for me, the heat wasn’t that strong or over powering so I really tasted the flavor with a nice heat kick.

And now lets talk juicy mini burgers. Have you guys ever made your burgers in mini’s like that? Well honestly I tried that a few years ago for a BBQ, but I felt it was quite a hassle flipping those mini burgers. And my hubby kept asking for them now with the game so I needed to find a way to make them easier for a crowd. So I tried broiling, and it was magic! I broiled those mini burgers by the dozen in like 8 mins and they were all cooked perfectly!! YES mini burgers for a crowd in 30 mins start to finish. All I had to do was pack on the flavor!

Back to the El Yucateco® Habanero sauces. I added a quarter cup of the El Yucateco® Red Chile Habanero to my ground beef mixture. I picked it because I wanted to infuse that red deep habanero flavor with a touch of tomato flavor in to my mini burgers, and I paired that with garlic powder, oregano powder, salt and pepper—that’s it. Shaped my burgers into small patties and placed them on an aluminum lined baking sheet for broiling.

When your broiler is ready (high heat is best), simply place your baking sheet under that hot broiler for 8-10 mins (depending on the size of your patties) and they’re ready! At that point I top the patties with my favorite type of cheese and tent my mini burgers loosely with foil. While the burgers are broiling and covered up, I’ll prep my buns (love giving them a quick grill on a stove top grill pan—sadly it’s quite cold to grill outdoors now), slather my fresh green habanero sauce (more on that below), some arugula, sliced red onions, cilantro and I’m all ready to assemble the mini burgers.

The El Yucateco® Green chile Habanero (which is the best seller) has a more fresh green habanero flavor which I preferred to use for a sauce to slather my bread with—that way I get a nice fresh burst of green habanero with my mini burgers that already have a deeper red habanero flavor. I also keep that same sauce to dip my fries in! That was my preference, but for the record I think you guys can mix and match all the El Yucateco® sauces to suit your taste.

I’ve also bought the El Yucateco® Black Label sauce as you can see—this one has a nice fiery roasted smokey habanero flavor similar to chipotle. My husband LOVED it and ended up slathering it over his burger. There are other few sauces from El Yucateco® like the El Yucateco® XXX Hot sauce (Kutbilik), The El Yucateco® Jalepeno and El Yucateco® Caribbean Jalapeño. I really think I’m hooked on those and I can’t wait to try them with drinks, pastas, chicken, pizza and everything else!
