Ingredients
Burgers:
- 1 1/2 pounds 85% lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese cut into small cubes
- 2 jalapeños de-seeded and minced

- 6 buns
- 6 slices red onion

Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Mix together all ingredients for the burgers in a large bowl. With your hands, and handling the meat as little as possible, shape the mixture into 4 equal patties.
- Add the patties to the hot grill.
- Cook the burger patties until they’re done to your preference, about 7 to 9 minutes per side, flipping once. Do NOT squish them with a flipper.
- When they’re almost done, put 1 slice of cheese on each burger, cover the grill, and let the cheese melt.
- If desired, split the buns in half and toast them (cut side down) on the grill for a couple minutes.
- To serve, put each burger on a bun and top with a slice of red onion and a couple slices of fresh jalapeño.
