INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef, divided into 4 balls
  • 4 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 2 brioche buns, toasted
  • 4 tbsp The Standard Bearer candied jalapeños
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Butter for toasting buns

    Season beef balls with salt and pepper. Place two balls on the skillet and immediately smash flat with a spatula. Cook 2 minutes until edges are crispy.

  4. 4

    Flip, add a slice of pepper jack to each patty, and cook 1 more minute. Stack two patties per burger.

    Spread garlic aioli on both bun halves. Layer the double patty stack and top generously with The Standard Bearer candied jalapeños.

  6. 6

    Close the bun and serve immediately.

Tasting Notes

The sweet heat from The Standard Bearer cuts through the richness of the beef and melted pepper jack, adding a sticky, caramelized layer that takes this burger to another level.
