JALAPENO CHEESEBURGERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Shape beef into 8 thin patties. Top 4 patties with cheese, onion and jalapenos. Top with remaining patties; press edges firmly to seal. , Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear, 8-9 minutes on each side. Serve on buns. If desired, serve with toppings.

Steps:

• Add oil or butter to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet and place over medium heat. Gently divide ground beef into 8 small piles of around 4 ounces each, and even more gently gather them together into orbs that are about 2 inches in height. Do not form patties.
• Increase heat under skillet to high. Put half the orbs into the skillet with plenty of distance between them and, using a stiff metal spatula, press down on each one to form a burger that is around 4 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook without moving until patties have achieved a deep, burnished crust, a little less than 2 minutes. Use the spatula to scrape free and carefully turn burgers over. If using cheese, lay slices on meat.
• Continue to cook until meat is cooked through, approximately a minute or so longer. Remove burgers from skillet, place on buns and top as desired. Repeat process with remaining burgers. Serving two hamburgers on a single bun is not an outrageous option.
