Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and form them into balls. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Smash the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the beef balls on the skillet and smash them down using a flat spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

Fried Onions

    Prepare the Onions

    In a bowl, combine sliced onions with flour, ensuring they are well-coated.

  2. 4

    Fry the Onions

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the flour-coated onions until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Jalapeno Cream Cheese Spread

    In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, chopped jalapenos, and garlic powder until smooth.

Assembly
