Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced jalapeños, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing while cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adding shredded cheddar cheese on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cheese-topped patty on top, followed by a tablespoon of your chosen jam, and finally the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as fries or a salad.
