As of now this is my last idea for ways to use the Giardiniera peppers in my fridge. And oh boy is it a good and spicy one. Not only is the burger topped with Giardiniera peppers, but some are mix in with the burger as well. If you want to cut down on the amount of heat the burger has, do not add a lot of Giardiniera peppers on top. This pepper mix packs quite a spicy punch, a little goes a long way.

- Mix everything together and shape into 4 hamburger patties.
- Cook the hamburger patties your preferred way.
