Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
• 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 2 pieces Jalapeños (fresh, sliced)
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomatoes (sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly, but do not overwork the beef mixture.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form into patties that are slightly larger than the size of your burger buns, as they will shrink slightly during cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. While the grill heats up, slice the jalapeños and prepare the spicy mayo by mixing mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

Lightly butter the burger buns and set them aside for toasting later.

Step 5

Place the beef patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, toast the buttered side of the burger buns on the grill or in a dry skillet until golden brown, about 1 minute.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by spreading the spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, a slice of tomato, the cheesy beef patty, jalapeño slices, and the top bun.

Step 8

Secure with a toothpick if needed and serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries, onion rings, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy your Hot N Spicy Cheeseburgers!
