Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef 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 Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Pepper Jack cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Slice the onion into thin rings.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

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

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the beef patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the lettuce, onion rings, and a generous drizzle of Jamaican Jerk BBQ sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
