Cook the Burgers
Divide ground beef into 8 equal portions and shape into patties. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip and place a slice of pepperjack cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach desired doneness.
