Equipment
- 1 Grill or skillet (for cooking the beef patties)
- 1 Tongs (for flipping the patties)
- 1 Knife (for slicing the vegetables and cheese)
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Plate (for assembling the burger)
- 1 Small bowl (for mixing the ghost pepper sauce)
- 1 Spatula (optional, for handling the patties)
Ingredients
- 2 beef patties approximately 4 oz each
- 2 sesame seed burger buns
- 2 slices ghost pepper cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños fresh or pickled
- 1 tablespoon ghost pepper sauce store-bought or homemade
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1/4 onion thinly sliced
- Lettuce 2-4 leaves
- Tomato slices 2 slices
Instructions
- Prepare the ghost pepper sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and ketchup with the ghost pepper sauce. Adjust the amount of ghost pepper sauce to your desired heat level.
- Grill the patties: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef patties with salt and pepper. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of ghost pepper cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
- Toast the buns: Slice the burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the burger: Spread the ghost pepper mayo-ketchup sauce on the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, and onion slices. Place the grilled patty with melted cheese on top.
- Add jalapeños: Add a generous amount of sliced jalapeños on top of the burger for an extra kick of heat.
- Top with the other bun: Place the top half of the toasted bun on the assembled burger.
- Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite side, like fries or chips.

Additional Notes/Tips to Enhance the Flavor for the Recipe
- Adjust heat levels: If the ghost pepper heat is too intense, you can balance it by reducing the amount of ghost pepper sauce or adding more mayo and ketchup to create a milder sauce.
- Add pickles: For an extra layer of flavor and crunch, try adding pickles to the burger.
- Grilled vegetables: For added flavor, grill your onions and tomatoes before adding them to the burger.
- Use fresh jalapeños: If you prefer less heat, opt for milder fresh jalapeños instead of pickled ones.
