Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Season the Patties

    Season the prime rib patties on both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the seasoned patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the desired doneness is reached.

Sauté the Onions

Assemble the Burger

    Add Cheese

    Once the patties are cooked, place American cheese and pepper jack cheese slices on top of each patty. Cover with a lid for about 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.

    Fry the breaded jalapeno cheese curds in the skillet until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Texas Toast

    Butter one side of each Texas toast slice and grill them in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 7

    Build the Burger Melt

    On one slice of Texas toast, place a cheeseburger patty, followed by sautéed onions, jalapeno cheese curds, and a drizzle of avocado ranch. Top with the second slice of Texas toast.

Prepare Avocado Ranch

    Make the Avocado Ranch

    In a bowl, mash the avocado and mix with ranch dressing, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
