Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20)
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
- 1 small can diced green chilies
- 1 small white onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 burger buns
Instructions
- Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil.
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, green chilies, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into 6 patties.
- Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on one side. Flip, add a slice of cheddar on each, and cover to melt the cheese. Cook another 3 minutes.
- Toast the buns cut-side down on the skillet until golden.
- Assemble burgers by spreading hot honey on the bottom bun, adding the cheesy patty, jalapeños, onion slices, and another drizzle of hot honey.
- Top with the bun and serve hot.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the beef to keep the patties tender.
- Adjust the spice by using fewer jalapeños or swapping for mild peppers.
- Toast the buns for extra texture and to avoid sogginess.
