Kick Ass Meat Patties!

So my boyfriend Jake was telling me how he was craving protein so we came to the conclusion to add some more protein to our Super Bomb Spaghetti. These meat patties pack a MEAN kick. We used habanero chilis, and just to warn you, do NOT touch your face eyes, lips, or mouth when chopping these bad mofos! I licked my fingers after chopping one... Lets just say I was crying like a baby, if you do decide to not heed my warning and you fall upon the same unfortunate fate make sure you have milk around! Let the milk sit on your tongue till it starts to burn again and then swallow and repeat a couple of time. Then suck on an ice cube. And please, please be careful with these bad boys.

Ingredients
  • 2 1bs of ground meat or so (Turkey, Chicken, Lamb, Beef, Veal, whatever floats your boat. Sorry vegans and vegetarians)
  • Garlic Powder (As much or as little as you like)
  • Onion Powder (As much or as little as you like)
  • 1 Habanero Chili (SUPER HOT! Diced finely)
  • 1 egg (maybe two, depending on size and mixture)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup Italian Bread Crumbs (My absolute favorite, Progresso)~The amount of bread crumbs all depend on how large the egg is and how together the meat is. You don't want runny wet eggy meat.
  •  Pepper to taste (I didn't put any in because I didn't have any, but it's always good to put some pepper. I don't add salt to my food because it's bad for you, but feel free to add salt if you wish. There is enough flavor in these bad boys and you don't really need it. But what the heck, it's a free world.)
  • Olive Oil/Veg Oil/Canni-Oil (I do not recommend using butter. Not a good idea)
  1. Take out your habanero chili dice it finely. Put it aside and wash your hands very well! Remember to have your milk handy in case of chili emergency.
  2. In a med/large pan/skillet put your oil and put it on med so it can heat up (Have a lid ready and waiting)
  3. In a large bowl add your ground meat, egg, bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, diced habanero chili, and any other spices you want. (Italian seasoning, pepper, salt, etc). Roll your sleeves up and dig in. Incorporate well.
  4. Form thinish patties (a little bigger than a breakfast patty), you want to make sure they will cook through. Put the patties in the oiled pan (a generous amount of oil in the pan) and cover. Have a plate with paper towels on it ready to absorb the oil from the patties. 
And that's it. You can break up some of the patties and put it in the Super Bomb Spaghetti like Jake and I did. Or you can just enjoy the patties on the side, or by themselves. They are delicious. We added some sour cream to our Super Bomb Spaghetti-Kick ass Patties combo and some yummy hot sauce we picked up called "Texas Pete" Original Hot Sauce if you want to give it a try. One more thing, remember if you have a sensitive stomach I recommend eating the pasta with a glass of milk and take some tums. Otherwise when you go to the bathroom you'll crap great balls of fire. Sorry to be crude :D Have fun.
