Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean/20% fat)
- 2 Jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 4 slices Pickles (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped jalapenos, minced garlic, diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients together, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to create a shallow indent in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill or skillet with a little oil to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (for medium doneness). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom halves of the buns. Layer with lettuce, a cheese-topped patty, tomato slices, and pickles (if using). Place the top half of the bun on each burger to complete.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a fresh salad.
