It's not grilling season yet, but being in Tennessee for the winter is making me antsy for it because I know it'll come much earlier than late May here! I used to make burgers with Worcestershire all the time, but eventually got burnt out and really now I just form the patty and do salt and pepper and that's it. While growing up, I was very accustomed to "bland", unseasoned foods. I think as an adult, I still do prefer some foods to be more simple and have the natural tastes come out and do their thing.
I actually planned to make this recipe for the jalapeno, bacon, and grilled onions. I didn't realize there was a glaze until I went to make my shopping list. A lot of times this happens when I see foods I want to make...I am a cover judger - both with books and food. A good picture will make me want to make the recipe. I decided to go ahead and do the glaze - what could it hurt?! I was very interested that it contained coffee.
That glaze is everything! It is the perfect smokey taste that every burger should have, plus a hint of sweet.
