Delicious Dinner For Two

We all enjoy a fun date night, but who says you have to go out to have a good time together?  Why not stay home and prepare this tasty meal together?  No babysitter needed ;)

One of mine and my husband's favorite ways to spend time together is by going out to our favorite restaurant and eating a tasty meal, but there are times when we don't have a sitter or don't feel like going out.  That's when we make dinner for the kids and get them to bed a tad bit early, and then we go in the kitchen together, prepare our date night dinner, and have a romantic meal- get this- AT HOME!  These are actually my favorite date nights.  We love burgers and spicy Mexican fare, so we came up with this absolutely delicious sweet and spicy burger that I am so thrilled to share the recipe for!

Peach Jalapeno Burgers with Brie Cheese

1lb ground round
1 jalapeno diced as tiny as possible
1 sz 1 or small container of peach baby food (sounds crazy, but it works...trust me!)
1 tbsp McCormick Montreal steak seasoning
2 hamburger buns (we like the fancy ones with oats sprinkled on top)
4 slices of brie cheese
1 tbsp panko or bread crumbs, whatever you've got on hand- even crackers will work
Spinach leaves and tomato slices (these are optional)

First turn your broiler on high, and then begin by mixing together the beef, jalapeno, and peach baby food.  If it feels a little wet add in just enough bread crumbs to help hold the mixture together.  Next you'll want to form the burger mix into two patties.  Place them on a cookie sheet or broiler pan and sprinkle even amounts of the steak seasoning on the burgers.  Place them in your oven and cook for approx 4-5 minutes on the first side, flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the second side.  Just before you take them out of the oven place two slices of brie cheese on each burger and allow them to melt.  Once the cheese is melted, which won't take long at all, take the burgers out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes while you get the rest of the ingredients together.  We like to toast our buns with a little touch of butter in a skillet, but you can just use a toaster or scrap the toasting all together.  Once the buns are nice and golden brown place your burger in the bun and top with spinach and tomato.  Of course use whatever toppings you like for your burgers!  Hope you try this recipe!  XOXO
