Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Servings: 4
Yield: 4 cheeseburgers

Ingredients

1 fresh jalapeno chile pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
4 slices pepperjack cheese
4 hamburger buns

Instructions

Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to high heat to ensure a nice sear on the burgers.
Prepare the Patties: In a medium bowl, mix the jalapeno, garlic, onion, and ground beef. Shape into four equal-sized patties.
Grill the Burgers: Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Cook patties for about 5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness.
Add the Cheese: Place a slice of pepperjack cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Allow it to melt.
Assemble and Serve: Toast the hamburger buns if desired, then place the patties on the buns. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings and sides.

Cook’s Tips & Variations

For extra spice, leave the jalapeno seeds in or add a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture.
Want a smoky flavor? Use a charcoal grill or add smoked paprika to the meat.
Prefer a different cheese? Swap pepperjack for cheddar, Monterey Jack, or blue cheese.
Make it keto-friendly: Serve without the bun and wrap in lettuce instead.
