Wahlburger-Style Bacon Jalapeño BBQ Cheeseburger

Recipe ingredients:

• 1½ lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
• Kosher salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• 4 slices American cheese
• 4 hamburger buns
• 8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy
• 2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• ½ cup BBQ sauce 
• 1 tbsp butter or oil, for the pan

Recipe details:

Serves: 4
Total time: 30 minutes

Recipe step out:

1. Form the patties:
   Divide beef into 4 equal portions, 6 oz each, and gently form into patties slightly wider than the buns (they’ll shrink as they cook). Press a small dimple in the center of each to keep them from puffing up. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the burgers:
   Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle to medium-high. Add a bit of butter or oil. Sear the patties for about 3–4 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of American cheese to each patty and cover briefly to melt.
3. Assemble:
   Spread BBQ sauce on both the top and bottom buns.
   Layer: bottom bun → cheesy patty → avocado → slices bacon → jalapeños →  extra drizzle of BBQ sauce → top bun. Enjoy!
