Burger Ingredients

Condiments and Fixings

Method

Preparing the Burger

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add Buffalo Sauce

    Remove the cooked patties from the heat and drizzle buffalo sauce generously over each patty.

  3. 6

    Layer with Jalapenos

    Top each patty with sliced jalapenos according to your preferred spiciness.

  4. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom bun, layer a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of onion. Place the buffalo sauced patty with jalapenos on top, then cap with the top bun.

Serving the Dish

  1. 8

    Plate the Burgers

    Serve the burgers on plates with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.
