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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped jalapenos, minced garlic, diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients together, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill or skillet with a little oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a fresh salad.
