• For the grill: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F or a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
• Crumble the beef into a large bowl. Add the salt, seasoning blend and some pepper. Mix the beef mixture gently with your hands so as to not overmix. Just fold the ground beef, don't mush or squeeze the ingredients into the beef. Form 4 patties.
• Place the patties and the jalapenos over the direct heat of the grill or into the cast-iron pan. Cook the patties on one side until the meat is seared and releases easily from the grill grates or pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the patties and rotate the jalapenos to get them charred on both sides. Cook until desired doneness on the beef, 3 to 4 more minutes for medium-rare to medium.
• For the toppings: Top the burgers with the cheese and transfer to a plate or sheet pan. Cover with aluminum foil for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the charred jalapenos and chop. Spread over the cheese on the burgers.

JALAPENO BURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Allow the frozen dough to rise overnight in the fridge (if using fresh let it rise to double it's size).
• Knead in your mixer for 5 minutes (by hand 10 minutes).
• Add all the ingredients to the dough and knead for a further 10 minutes.
• Cut into 14 equal pieces (more if you want smaller buns).
• The dough is a bit moist from all the ingredients in it so you may want to use a little flour on your hands to form the buns- do not use too much flour or the buns will not rise as easily Place buns on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with veggie oil.
• For best results bake the buns on a baking stone, covered with a piece of parchment and lightly sprayed with veggie oil Cover and place in a warm spot until the buns have doubled in size (I place them in the oven with the oven light on this gives a lovely warm, even heated, no breeze place where they can rise undisturbed).
• This step may take 1-2 hours dependinbg on your dough.
• Bake in 350F oven for apprx 20-25 minutes.
• Place on a rack to cool.
• They freeze well.
