Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 medium Fresh jalapenos
• 0.5 cups Blue cheese crumbles
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Tomato slices
• 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

Finely dice the jalapenos, removing the seeds for less heat if desired. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and half of the diced jalapenos. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined; avoid over-mixing.

Step 3

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Use your thumb to press a slight indentation into the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of at least 160°F for well-done). During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle blue cheese crumbles on top of each patty to allow them to melt slightly.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, spread butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the remaining diced jalapenos to create a spicy mayo topping.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, spread a layer of the jalapeno mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the cooked burger patty with melted blue cheese, and finish with the top half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Jalapeno Blue Cheese Burgers!
