1
Prepare the Jalapeno Bacon
In a skillet, cook the jalapeno bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2
Form the Patties
In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into two patties.
3
Cook the Patties
In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
4
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty and cover until melted.
5
Assemble the Burgers
Place the cooked patties on the burger buns, top with jalapeno bacon, and any additional toppings if desired.
