Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1-2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning Blend (* SEE NOTES)
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • 6 slices habanero cheese (or use pepperjack cheese)
  • 3 jalapeno peppers
  • 3 serrano peppers

Instruction

  • Mix your Cajun seasonings into the ground beef. Hand mix to incorporate, but do not overmix.
  • Form 12 thin patties with the seasoned ground beef. 6 of them should be slightly larger, to form the base. I like to use a burger press for this process.
  • Top each of the larger patties with a slice each of American and habanero (or pepperjack) cheese.
  • Next, top each of the stuffed burgers with the smaller patties and hand form the meat around the cheese. You should still have burger-shaped patties.
  • Grill or pan sear the burgers in a bit of olive oil a few minutes per side, until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked through to your preference. Remove from heat and let the burgers rest a couple minutes to let the cheeses relax.
  • When the burgers are coooking, grill or pan sear the jalapeno and serrano peppers about 10 minutes, rolling a bit to get each side of the skins, until the skins char up and blacken. Slice them into rings and discard the stems.
  • Serve the burgers onto buns topped with sliced peppers, ranchero sauce or hot sauce, and your favorite toppings.
