Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 burger buns, toasted
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil for cooking
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into loose balls (do not overwork).
- Place sliced onions and jalapeños in small piles on the skillet and top each with a ball of beef.
- Smash each beef ball flat with a spatula, pressing it into the onions and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy and the onions/jalapeños are caramelized.
- Flip the patties, add a slice of cheese on each, and cook another 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and patties are cooked through.
- Assemble burgers on toasted buns with desired toppings.
- Serve immediately while hot and juicy.
Notes
- Use a heavy spatula or burger press to get a good sear.
- Pickled jalapeños add tang while fresh bring more heat — choose based on your spice level preference.
- Double up on patties for a more indulgent burger.
