1
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

3
Grill the Jalapeños
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Slice the jalapeños in half and remove the seeds if desired for less heat. Grill the jalapeños cut-side down for about 3-4 minutes until they are charred and tender.

4
Grill the Patties
On the same grill, place the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of pepper-jack cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach the desired doneness.

5
Build the Burger
Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Top with grilled jalapeños and a tablespoon of sweet chili sauce. Cover with the top half of the bun.
