1
Prepare the Patties
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and shape them into patties, approximately 1/4 lb each. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
3
Cook the Patties
In the same skillet, using the bacon fat, cook the beef patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip them and place two slices of pepper jack cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.
4
Prepare the Toppings
While the patties are cooking, slice the red onion and jalapeño thinly.
5
Assemble the Burger
Toast the brioche rolls lightly. On the bottom half, spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo, add the beef patty with melted cheese, top with bacon, red onion, and jalapeño slices. Finish with the top half of the brioche roll.
