Now that's a spicy burger!

I crave spicy foods.  And by spicy, I mean a temperature on the tongue that would make the bulldog cry.  Poor boy.  I had the brilliant idea tonight of taking my burger up a notch with - wait for it - a jalepeno.  I KNOW!  Absolutely crazy.  Not to be outdone, my friend garlic went in as well.  Five cloves worth.
I diced the garlic and jalepeno before adding to the ground beef - grass fed, raised antibiotic free of course - and though I included the jalepeno seeds, the burger could have been hotter.
I also did the unthinkable - I cooked the burger in a tiny tablespoon of butter.  Nice richness added to the burger that way.  Easy little trick.  Beef + butter = TASTY!  At the end, I cut some grape tomato's in half and tossed them in the remaining butter and beef juices to sautee down and tossed some pepperjack cheese on top - just in case the burger wasn't spicy enough.
Serve with avocado on the side and have a drink ready if you're like the bulldog!
