TO PREPARE HAMBURGERS:

In a bowl, crumble the bread into small pieces. Pour the milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic over the top. Using a fork, mix the ingredients together to form a paste. Next, add in the ground beef and combine with the bread/milk paste and form into four burger patties.

Form into four patties, with about 5 inches in diameter, with slight depressions in the middle of each.

TO COOK THE HAMBURGERS:

Preheat the grill over high heat for at least 15 minutes.  Cook the hamburgers on one side for about 3-4 minutes. Do not press or move for this time. Turn burgers, gently, and continue to cook another 3-4 minutes for a medium well done burger (or about 5 minutes for a well-done burger).

At this time, add the corn to the grill and allow to char on all sides.

During the last 1-2 minutes, add the pepper jack cheese to the hamburgers to allow to melt. To the top rack of the grill, lay the hamburger buns face down to toast. Remove when golden brown

Remove burgers, buns, and corn from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes prior to eating.

TO ASSEMBLE HAMBURGERS:

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and chipotle pepper mustard. Set aside. Chop cilantro set aside. Chop cooked bacon, set aside. Slice kernels away from grilled corn into a small bowl. set aside.

Top toasted hamburger buns with chipotle aioli. Top with cheese covered hamburger, and layer on top additional BBQ Sauce, candied jalapenos, jalapeno chips, grilled corn, cilantro, and bacon. Cover and serve.
