The Summer Kitchen: Jalapeño Jack Burgers

Burgers are quintessential with summer in my opinion. Whether you cook on the grill or inside. Pair with fresh summer veggies or classic sides. I like finding different ways to make burgers.

The ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1/2 C diced jalapeños seeded

1/2 C small diced pepperjack cheese

1/2 C pork rind panko

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Salt anv pepper

The recipe:

In a bowl, add ground beef with all ingredients and mix with hands until well combined.

Divided into 4 quarters to make 4 burgers.

Form into patties and place on plate or baking sheet and refrigerated for 10 min.

If cooking inside, I used cast iron. 

Cook 3 minutes per side on stove then move to oven yo finish for 5 minutes.

This left some slight pink on the inside.

Notes:

I used 93/7 beef so I added the pork rind panko to maintain the moisture. If using a higher fat beef you may omit this ingredient. 

Also if using the 93/7, don't forget to add salt and pepper to the beef mixture. 

I also cook my burgers in butter but you can replace with a high heat oil like avocado oil.
