Instructions

1. Whiskey vegetables:
2. Quarter the peppers, remove the seeds and cut into large pieces, the onions into thick rings. Fry together with the olive oil in a wok pan, then sauté for 15 minutes. Then pour the cane sugar over it and deglaze with plenty of whiskey. Caution: Do not breathe in too deeply, even if it smells delicious - it gets horrible in the nose! Then let the liquid reduce by half. The vegetables can still have liquid, then the burger will be nice and juicy.
3. Patties:
4. The right patty is a question of philosophy: I always add small chopped bread cubes to the ground beef. These make the patty fluffy and absorb the good liquid. Cut the bread into cubes and mix well with the minced meat, knead properly. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Sear them spicy, only once on each side, then leave to rest in aluminum foil and keep hot. The meat can still be pink inside.
5. Cheddar and Chili Sauce:
6. First pour the condensed milk into a refractory bowl, then crumble the processed cheese into small pieces and add the chipotle chilli. Cut the peppers into narrow strips and add them as well. Just before building the burger, carefully heat the sauce in the microwave at 600 W. It is important to stir regularly so that the cheese does not burn on the outside. The sauce should get really hot so that it becomes nice and homogeneous.
7. Burger construction:
8. The order determines the taste!
9. Put 1 lettuce leaf on the lower roll, then the warm whiskey vegetables and then the meat. The tomato is placed on top. Now pour plenty of cheese sauce over it. Crumble the nacho chips on top for a great crunch. Put the lid and the skewer through it.
