Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • spatula
  • skillet

Ingredients

For the burger

  • 1 lbs ground beef
  • 1 packet onion seasoning Lipton Recipe Secrets
  • 1 tbsp jalapeño diced
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup white onion diced
  • cooking spray

Toppings

  • 4 burger buns brioche
  • 4 slices Pepper Jack cheese
  • 1 small white onion
  • tomatoes
  • sliced pickles
  • shredded lettuce
  • mayo

Instructions

  • Finely dice the jalapeño and white onion.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together ground beef, onion seasoning, diced jalapeño, white onion, and Worcestershire sauce until combined.
  • Then, use your hands to form the burger mixture into 4 equally sized patties. You want your patties about ½ an inch thick. 
  • Heat a skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Sauté burgers for roughly 5 minutes on each side (or until burgers reach an internal temperature of at least 140°F.) 
  • Two minutes prior to removing the burger patties from the heat, top each burger with a slice of cheese. Allow time for the cheese to melt onto the burger. If it isn’t melting, you can place a lid on top of the skillet to trap the heat and help the cheese get ooey gooey quicker.  
  • Remove the burgers from the skillet, add to a toasted bun and assemble with desired toppings. I like to add mayo, diced tomato, shredded lettuce with a brioche bun. 

Notes

Do not over mix the raw patty mixture this will result in a tough burger.
It’s important to chop the ingredients finely before combining them into the burger. You don’t want to end up with a big chunk of raw onion in your burger and you surely do not want a mouthful of hot raw jalapeño.
Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
