Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the beef into a large patty, about 1 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the beef patty on the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until browned.

  3. 3

    Flip and Add Cheese

    Flip the patty and cook for an additional 5 minutes for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place the cheese slice on top of the patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the skillet or grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on the bottom bun. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by jalapeños. Add the top bun to complete the burger.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Sides

    Fry the handmade fries and onion rings according to your preferred method until crispy and golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the big burger with a side of handmade fries and onion rings for a complete meal.
