Steps:
- Make the jerk sauce: Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, jarred jerk sauce, Cajun seasoning and red pepper flakes in a bowl until combined. Stir in the bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic; cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Make the vegetables: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the carrots, zucchini and bell pepper, season with salt and cook, tossing occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the prepared jerk sauce and cook until the vegetables are glazed, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Grill the burgers: Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with canola oil. Form the beef into four 3/4-inch-thick patties and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Meanwhile, lightly toast the buns on the grill.
- Serve the burgers on the buns; top with the sauteed vegetables.

Steps:
- Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
- Place the meat in a bowl and add the cheese. Peel the onion and halve it, if using the medium onion. Grate about 3 to 4 tablespoons of onion directly over the meat into the bowl. Finely chop the remaining onion and reserve for topping. Add spices to meat: paprika, cumin and about 1 tablespoon of grill seasoning and/or some salt and pepper. Add garlic, parsley and Worcestershire and beer then form 4 large patties making them a little thinner at the center than at edges. Burgers plump when you cook them so this will prevent burger bulge. Drizzle a little olive oil over the burgers then grill about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5 minutes on each side for medium and 6 to 7 minutes on each side for well done.
- Mix mustard and sour cream with dill.
- Serve patties on bun bottoms and top with lettuce, pickles, chopped raw onion. Slather bun tops with sauce and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Combine the beef, salt, allspice, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, pepper flakes, brown sugar, thyme and black pepper in a large bowl and gently mix until just combined.
- Form the meat into eight 2-ounce patties, then press the center of each with your thumb to create an indent. Coat the grill pan with cooking spray.
- Grill the sliders indent-side up until the internal temperature registers 150 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes per side, placing a slice of cheese on each patty once you flip them. Cover the patties on the grill pan with a metal bowl to allow the cheese to melt. (The cheese will melt over the sides of the patties.) Remove the patties to a plate and cover loosely with foil to rest.
- Meanwhile, brush the buns with the melted butter and grill until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes per side.
- Assemble the sliders by putting a tablespoon-sized dollop of the Ketchup on the bun tops and bottoms, then top each bottom with a patty. Finish with one Onion Ring on top of each slider. Close sliders and serve immediately.
- Combine the ketchup, lime juice, allspice, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, pepper flakes, brown sugar, thyme and salt in a medium nonreactive bowl and mix until incorporated.
- Pour 4 inches oil into an 8-quart Dutch oven and bring to 350 degrees F over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, peel the onions and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rings.
- Combine the flour, salt, garlic powder and black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the ale until the ingredients are combined. The batter should be thick but slightly loose.
- Place a wire rack in a sheet pan. Working in batches, dip the onion rings into the batter. Drain any excess batter back into the bowl, then slowly lower the onions into the hot oil. Cook, flipping the onions every 30 seconds, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the onions to a wire rack with a spider and lightly season with sea salt.

Steps:
- Mash beans with a fork until smooth. Stir in bread crumbs, chopped onion, egg, milk, minced garlic, jerk seasoning, and salt; mix well. Shape into 4 patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Cook patties until browned, turning once, about 8 minutes total.
- Serve on buns, topped with tomato and onion, and any other condiments of you like.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef: Opt for 80/20 ground chuck or sirloin for a juicy and flavorful burger.
- Season the beef well: Don't be shy with the Caribbean-inspired spices like jerk seasoning, allspice, and thyme. These flavors will shine through in the final burger.
- Shape the burgers gently: Overworking the beef can result in tough burgers. Handle the meat gently and form it into patties without over-compacting.
- Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Make the jerk ketchup ahead of time: This sauce can be made up to 5 days in advance, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
- Use a light hand with the beer batter: The batter should be thin enough to coat the onion rings without weighing them down.
- Fry the onion rings until golden brown: Keep a close eye on the onion rings as they fry, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
