Instructions

1. Prepare the Jalapeños

1. Wash jalapeños and remove seeds if you want a milder burger.

2. Mince them very finely so they blend evenly into the meat.

3. If you like more heat, add an extra jalapeño or keep some seeds.

---

2. Mix the Burger Blend

In a large bowl, combine:

• Ground beef

• Minced jalapeños

• Onion

• Garlic

• Egg

• Breadcrumbs

• Worcestershire

• Ketchup

• Mustard

• Salt, pepper

• Paprika & cumin

• Cheese (if using)

Use hands to gently mix—don’t overwork, or the burgers get dense.

3. Shape the Patties

1. Divide into 4 large patties or 6 medium ones.

2. Form into rounds about ¾ inch thick.

3. Press a small thumbprint in the center of each—this prevents doming.

4. Set patties on parchment paper and chill 10–20 minutes (optional, but helps them hold shape).

2. Add oil or butter.

Flavor Tips

• For maximum flavor, use fresh jalapeños and a small spoon of pickled jalapeño juice in the meat.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Meat Mixture

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine:

   • ground beef

   • minced onion

   • garlic

   • egg

   • breadcrumbs

   • Worcestershire sauce

   • ketchup

   • mustard

   • salt, pepper, paprika

2. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to gently mix until just combined.
   Do not overmix—this keeps the burgers tender instead of tough.

---

2. Shape the Patties

1. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions for large burgers (or 6 smaller ones).

2. Lightly dampen your hands to prevent sticking.

3. Form each portion into a patty about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick.

4. Press a shallow thumbprint in the center of each patty—this helps them cook evenly and prevents puffing up.

---

3. Cook the Burgers

You can use a skillet, grill pan, outdoor grill, or even a flat-top.

Stovetop Method (Mom’s Classic Way)

1. Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Season patties lightly on both sides with additional salt & pepper right before cooking.

3. Place patties into the hot skillet without overcrowding.

4. Cook 5–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.

5. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute and cover the skillet to melt.

Signs They’re Done

• Juices run clear.

• Internal temp reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done (traditional “mom style”).

• Slightly pink inside is okay if you prefer medium (145–155°F).

---

4. Toast the Buns

While burgers rest, toast buns lightly in the pan with a small dab of butter until golden.

---

5. Build Your Burgers

Layer buns with:

• Mayo or ketchup

• Lettuce

• Tomatoes

• Patties

• Onions and pickles

• Extra sauce on top bun

Serve hot with fries, chips, or a simple green salad.

Tips for the Best “Mom Style” Burger

• 80/20 ground beef makes a huge difference in flavor and juiciness.

• Grating the onion makes it melt into the meat without chunks.

• Breadcrumbs + egg act like a gentle binder, giving that old-fashioned, tender texture.

• Don’t flatten the burgers with the spatula—you’ll squeeze out the juices.

• Let patties rest for 3–4 minutes before serving so the juices don’t run out.

---

Optional Variations

• Mom’s BBQ Burger: Add ¼ cup BBQ sauce to the mixture.

• Spicy Version: Add ½–1 tsp chili powder or a dash of hot sauce.

• Herb Burger: Mix in chopped parsley or green onions.

• Cheddar-Stuffed: Insert a cube of cheddar in the center of each patty before cooking.
