Hamburger Recipe

Ingredients:
1 lb of ground beef
1 small onion
1 large clove of garlic
1 small or 1/2 large habenero pepper
3 table spoons of pepperoni
3 strips of bacon
2 table spoons of grated Parmesan cheese
~2 tablespoons of butter
Cumin
Chili Powder
Salt
Cayenne Pepper
Chili pepper flakes

Slice onion into thin disks and then quarter them. Cook with butter in small frying pan on low heat in order to caramelize, cover with a lid. Cut the bacon into 1 cm wide strips and cook on low heat in a large frying pan (Big enough for cooking 4 hamburgers). Mince the garlic, habenero, and pepperoni. Once the bacon is mostly cooked remove from the pan but keep the grease in and keep the pan on low heat. Mince the bacon really small and combine with the garlic, habenero and pepperoni. When the onion start to go from translucent back to golden brown pour out on the cutting board but the pan on low heat. Mince the onion really small and return to the small frying pan along with the bacon, garlic, habenero, and pepperoni. Add a little bit of salt, chili pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper (per own personal liking), and then a healthy amount of cumin and chili powder say between 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of each. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes mixing frequently so the spices are well mixed together. In a large plastic bowl add the ground beef and the Parmesan cheese. Then add everything from the small frying pan. Turn up the heat on the large pan to medium but it should still be warm from cooking the bacon. Mix the ingredients together and then pack together four patties. Cook in the large pan that is coated with a little bacon grease until desired. Enjoy.

A few notes:
You could add an egg to try to make the meat stick together but mine held up fine without it. Despite the amount of pepper I used(I had the seedy end of a large habenero) the burgers were not very spicy because the meat and bun take care of the heat. I would not change the amount heat on mine to make it more or less hot because I thought it was perfect and nice burger with a little zing to it.  If you have any recommendations or other burger recipes for me to try I would love to give it a go.
