Bronco Burgers

Ingredients:

• 5 fresh jalapeno peppers
• 4 pounds ground bison
• salt and pepper
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup steak sauce
• ¼ cup minced white onion
• 1 teaspoon Frank’s Hot sauce
• 1 pinch dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

3. In a large bowl, use your hands to mix together the chopped jalapenos, ground beef, salt, pepper, egg, steak sauce, onion, hot pepper sauce, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and corn chips.
