A delightful twist on the classic burger, featuring caramelized onions and peppers, melted pepper jack cheese, and a touch of tangy mustard.
Season the ground beef with your preferred spices and form into three equal patties.
Avoid overworking the meat to keep the patties tender.
Toast the hamburger buns in a skillet or under the broiler until golden brown.
Toasting the buns prevents them from becoming soggy.
Slice the onion and bell pepper, then sauté them in a skillet with a little oil until caramelized.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Cook the patties in a skillet or on a grill to your desired doneness.
Pressing the patties too much while cooking can dry them out.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mustard on the bottom bun, adding a patty, topping with the sautéed vegetables, and placing a slice of cheese on top.
Layering the ingredients in this order helps keep the burger stable.
Place the assembled burgers under the broiler for a minute to melt the cheese.
Keep an eye on the burgers to prevent over-melting.
Top with the remaining bun halves and serve immediately.
Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
