Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Slice the jalapeños in half and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder flavor. Grill them over medium heat until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until they are crispy. Remove from the pan and let them drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

  4. 4

    Cook the Beef Patties

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread cream cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked burger patty on the bun, followed by grilled jalapeños, bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the El Paso Burger hot with your favorite side dishes.
