1
Prepare the Ground Beef
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into 4 equal patties.
2
Cook the Burgers
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

3
Cook the Jalapeño Bacon
In a skillet, cook the jalapeño bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels.
4
Slice the Jalapeños
While the bacon is cooking, slice the fresh jalapeños into rings. Remove seeds for less heat if desired.
5
Melt the Cheese
During the last minute of cooking the burger patties, place a slice of pepper Jack cheese on each patty. Cover to melt the cheese.

6
Assemble the Burgers
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom half of each bun, place a burger patty with melted cheese, followed by jalapeño bacon, sliced jalapeños, and drizzle with Buffalo sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
