Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Ranch Dressing

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Slice the jalapeños and fry them in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger Patty

    Form the ground beef into two 8 oz patties. Season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the jalapeño and cheese bun, layer the lettuce, the burger patty with melted cheese, fried jalapeños, and tomato slices. Drizzle with homemade ranch dressing and top with the other half of the bun.
