Method

Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix with your hands until just combined; avoid overmixing.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round burger patties, about ¾ inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

Toppings

  1. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 5

    Roast the Green Chile

    Char the whole green chile on the grill or over an open flame until the skin is blistered. Remove from heat, place in a plastic bag to steam for 10 minutes, then peel off the skin and set aside.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Onion Rings

    Prepare beer batter and dip the onion rings into it. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Burger Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty. Top with a slice of pepperjack cheese, bacon, roasted green chile, and onion rings. Add a slice of tomato and pickles on top, then cover with the top half of the bun.
