Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Begin by washing the jalapeño peppers thoroughly. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder flavor.

  2. 2

    Make the Beef Patty Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, minced jalapeño peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with shredded cheddar cheese and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted burger bun. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by the cheesy jalapeño beef patty, a slice of tomato, and a generous drizzle of BBQ sauce. Finally, top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the burgers warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
