Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, diced jalapeños, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    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 cover until melted.

  3. 3

    Caramelize Onions

    In a separate pan, cook sliced onions over medium heat until they are soft and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread ranch dressing on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place the cheese-topped burger patty on top, followed by a generous spoonful of caramelized onions, crumbled bacon, and crispy fried onions. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
