Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper to taste. Form into a patty approximately 8 ounces in weight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef patty and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place the slice of pepper jack cheese on top of the burger and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bun

    While the burger is cooking, toast the gourmet bun in a separate pan until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Once the cheese is melted and the bun is toasted, place the beef patty on the bottom half of the bun. Top with salsa and cover with the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
