Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large bowl, take the 14 ounces of ground beef and season it with salt and pepper. Form the beef into one large patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  3. 3

    Slice the Jalapeños

    While the bacon is cooking, slice the 2 whole jalapeños into thin rounds, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Burger Patty

    In the same skillet, after removing the bacon, increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking the beef patty, place the American, Cheddar, Pepper jack, and Swiss cheese slices on top to allow them to melt.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On a burger bun, spread 4 tablespoons of garlic aioli. Place the cooked beef patty topped with melted cheese. Add the crispy bacon, sliced jalapeños, fried cheese curds, and pickles on top.
