1
Prepare the Chipotle Mayo
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
3
Form the Patties
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties, making sure they are slightly larger than the burger buns.
4
Cook the Patties
In the same skillet used for bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and add a slice of pepper jack cheese on each. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
5
Sauté the Onions
In another skillet, add a small amount of oil and sauté the sliced onions over medium heat until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
6
Assemble the Burgers
To assemble, spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the crispy bacon and sautéed onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
