Grilled cheeseburgers

 



Ingredients

  • 1 jalapeno, sliced thin
  • 1/2 small red onion, sliced thin , I like to gill my onion ahead of time 
  • 12 ounces of ground beef, 80/20, split into 3-ounce portions
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of American cheese
  • 2 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 2 hamburger buns, brioche or potato
  • Mayo or melted butter for toasting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet or griddle to a medium-heat. Use a slightly lower heat for the second burner, which will be used to toast the hamburger buns.
  2. Sear the burgers and toppings. Place the shaved jalapenos and onions into 2 small piles on the hot surface. Immediately place a portion of ground beef on top of each. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Allow the meat to sear for about 3-4 minutes until it gets crispy underneath and can be flipped.
  3. Flip the burgers. Using your spatula, scrape underneath and flip each burger. Add the slice of cheddar cheese to 1 of the patties.
  4. Toast the buns. Place the curved side of the buns down directly onto the griddle and press down gently. Allow them to toast for about 2 minutes and flip to the flat side which should be buttered (or slathered with mayo). Add a slice of American cheese to each of the buns.
  5. Assemble the grilled cheese burgers. Stack the two burger patties so the cheddar cheese is between them, and place them onto a toasted bun with the American cheese. Flip the other bun so the cheese is sandwiching the burgers. It’s time to eat!
  6. Keep them warm (optional). Place the burgers in a sheet of aluminum foil and wrap them tight. This helps to keep them warm while also melting the cheese further.
