Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and form into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly in another skillet or toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise and sriracha sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patties on top, then top with sliced jalapeños. Close the burgers with the top half of the buns.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the spicy cheeseburgers hot with your favorite side.
