Ingredients
Scale
For the Burger Patties
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
For Assembly
- 4 burger buns
- Cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Cooking Surface: Heat your grill or skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the burger patties evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, diced jalapeno, finely chopped onion, salt, and pepper thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well distributed.
- Form Patties: Shape the beef mixture evenly into 4 patties, making sure they are slightly thinner for the smash burger style.
- Cook Patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Add Cheese: If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt perfectly.
- Toast Buns: Toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Assemble Burgers: Build your burgers by placing the cooked patties on the toasted buns along with any additional favorite toppings you like.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill if available.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno to control the spiciness of the burger.
- Feel free to add classic toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, and condiments to customize your burger.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of patties and heat level; use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness (160°F for medium).
- Cheese slices are optional but recommended for added creaminess.
