To grill bread or buns brush lightly with olive oil or margarine. Grill directly over medium coals for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until just toasted, turning once.

An instant-read meat thermometer ensures perfectly cooked burgers (patties). The internal color of the burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A beef or pork burger cooked to 160 degree F, regardless of color, is safe. If using a digital instant-read thermometer, insert the tip of the thermometer into the food at least 1/8 of an inch for 10 seconds. If using a dial instant-read thermometer, insert the thermometer through the side of the burger (patty) to a depth of 2 to 3 inches to get an accurate reading.

Hot peppers contain volatile oils that can burn eyes, lips, and sensitive skin. Please wear plastic gloves while working with peppers and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
