My husband was the inspiration behind these burgers. It used to be one of his favorites at Buffalo Wild Wings.  And  I have to confess, I really didn’t think I would be all that crazy about it.  But nachos and burgers together; why not? I had to give it a try.  And the verdict…this burger is so good it makes me want to scream! Seriously, it’s sooo delicious!! That melty pepper jack cheese?  And jalapeños??  YESSSSS. By making it at home, you can take it to a whole new level. The key is to keep the burger itself simple, and then top off that patty with all your favorite nacho fixin’s like nacho cheese, salsa, jalapeños, and of course, nachos.  It’s not totally a copy cat, because this burger is all about the custom build. And that’s where you come in.  Ohhhhh yeahhhh!
