Oh.my.word.
That was my thought with the first bite of this burger.
Recently, I was contacted by Yummly on behalf of Hellmann’s Mayonnaise to participate in their 100th birthday celebration.
To celebrate, Hellmann’s has teamed up with celebrity chef Mario Batali to showcase how decades of delicious meals start with real, quality ingredients.
So, I had the opportunity to revamp not just a recipe – but one of six recipes made by Mario himself.
Lucky girl, right?
I chose to redo his Salsa Burger, which looks fantastic. I had a few ideas; and you know I had jalapeños in mind.
When do I not?
But, this time, it was habaneros that won.
It’s a freakin’ burger volcano.
Well, actually, it’s fabulous beef burger with Hellmann’s mayo and Worcestershire sauce mixed in, topped with habanero cheese sauce, mango pico de gallo and guacamole.
That was a mouthful.
It’s cracktastic.
And soooo very messy. It is very worth it, however. If you’ve never cut a mango before, it’s messy and if you just dive in with a knife and no direction, it will be a big pile of mush.
Check out my short little video below, and see how simple it is.
Now, go here to join the Hellmann’s Blue Ribbon table, co-create a recipe with Mario Batali and enter for a chance to win a seat at the World’s Longest Picnic Table for Hellmann’s 100th birthday celebration in September.*
As part of the brand’s 100th birthday celebration, Hellmann’s is helping provide one million meals to Feeding America to help the fight against hunger nationwide.
Yes, it’s as delicious as it looks.
Just have plenty of napkins.

My mouth is watering just looking at this but bet it’d be burning if I ate those peppers. 🙂
I want you to know that you had me at habanero. I am in love and would seriously consider exchanging vows with this masterpiece creation of yours.
Thank you Adam!
YUM!!!! Looks delicious!!!
Oh My! That burger volcano looks like it will erupt with flavor in your mouth. I can’t wait to try this one. The only change I would make is that I NEVER flatten my burgers. It forces the juices out of the meat. Instead I make an indentation with my thumb in the burger before cooking. When the indentation plumps back up you end up with a flat, juicy burger. It’s a trick I learned from Bobby Flay who certainly knows how to make a great burger!
Thanks Sandra 🙂
