Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well integrated without overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties that are slightly larger than your burger buns (they will shrink when cooking).

Grilling the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties, then add a slice of jack cheese on top of each patty. Grill for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

Preparing Toppings

  1. 5

    Slice Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and slice the lettuce, tomato, onion, and jalapeños.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Build the Burger

    Once the patties are cooked, place them on the bottom half of each burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, jalapeños, and finally the top half of the bun.
