- Eggs
- Milk
- Soy

Ready to amp up burger night? Meet ancho—the slightly spicier chili powder of your BBQ dreams. Here you’ll mix it with tangy red pepper jam and BBQ sauce for a savory slather on toasted buns. Sandwiched between all that flavor are juicy beef patties and tender smoky onion rounds. And since none of these flavors can go to waste, you’ll mix the remaining ancho BBQ sauce with mayo for a creamy potato wedge dipper. This definitely ancho average burger!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Slice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel and slice onion into 1⁄4-inch-thick rounds, keeping layers intact. Halve buns.
• In a small bowl, combine jam, chili powder, BBQ sauce, and 2 tsp water (4 tsp for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion rounds and cook until tender and browned at the edges, 3-5 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine beef, salt, and pepper. Form into two patties (four patties for 4 servings), each slightly wider than a burger bun. • Once onion rounds are done, heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. • While patties cook, toast buns until golden brown. Evenly spread cut sides with half the ancho BBQ sauce (you’ll use the rest in the next step).
• Add mayonnaise to bowl with remaining ancho BBQ sauce; stir to combine. • Fill buns with patties and griddled onion. Divide burgers and potato wedges between plates. Serve BBQ mayo on the side for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
Definitely the best HelloFresh Burger so far. The ancho BBQ is very good and mixing it with the mayo to make a dip for the potatoes is efficient and delicious
The ancho BBQ sauce seemed like there wasn't nearly enough for the burgers. I could've forgone the mayo and just used all the sauce on the buns. The onion rounds were extremely hard to keep in tact so that was a lost cause after a few flips. And the directions didn't specify how to toast the buns (Oven rack? Pan? Toaster?) so a recommendation would've been appreciated. Overall very simple but good burger. Not a lot of additives but none really needed.
I prefer an 85/15 leanness in my burger beef -- 80/20 seems too fatty, and too much of the weight gets left in the pan. But I do love that ancho flavoring in the BBQ sauce, and the griddled onions!
Loved the bbq sauce. I did add garlic powder to the burger patties and smoked paprika to the potato wedges to improve - just a thought
This dish was easy to make and the Ancho BBQ sauce to dip the potatoes was soooo good!! This dish was very filling.
These were to die for. The smoky sweet ancho peppers were so good on the burger and in the dipping sauce.
Very good burger so moist and the BBQ sauce added so much flavor and the onions all mixed well together.
This meal was so easy and quick to make. It was also so good. The potato wedges were crispy and delicious. The dipping sauce made something already perfect even better.
Absolutely delicious. The combination with the caramelized red onions with the red pepper jam and ancho sauce. Bazinngaa! Amazing!
These are my favorite burgers. Though the BBQ sauce seemed much sweeter than the last time I got this, and was a little too sweet this time. I also always deviate from the instructions, and add the mayonnaise into the sauce, before putting it on the buns. It tastes much better with the mayonnaise mixed into it. But these are still the best tasting burgers I've gotten from HelloFresh.
