Ingredients for 2 servings:
- 500 g minced beef
- 5 processed cheese slices (cheddar cheese)
- 4 slices of processed cheese (toast cheese)
- 2 large hamburger buns
- 1 small chili pepper(s), fresh, red
- e.g. Jalapeño(s), green, from the jar
- pepper
- Fat for frying
Instructions
Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes
with extra cheese
Form the ground beef into 4 equal-sized patties and set aside. The patties should have a radius about 2 cm larger than the hamburger buns. The meat does not need to be seasoned. Dice the chilies and jalapenos to taste. I use sliced green jalapenos from a jar, about 6-7 rings, and a small red chili pepper. Fill a pot with water and place a slightly smaller pot inside. Fill this pot with 5 slices of Cheddar cheese, add the chilies and jalapenos, a little juice from the jar of jalapenos if possible, and a grind of pepper. Melt over low heat in a double boiler, stirring continuously, to create a cheese sauce. Once the cheese is liquid and well blended, remove the small pot from the water and set aside. Next, brown the patties over medium-high heat, using a little fat, on both sides. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become too dry. In the meantime, you can warm up the burger buns. I put them in the microwave for about 45 seconds. This gives them a typical fast-food consistency. However, you can also briefly put them in the oven, depending on your taste. Now cut open the buns and add the toppings: Spread some chili cheese on the bottom and then a slice of toasted cheese on top. Place a patty on top, then spread more chili cheese on top. Then add the next patty. Spread more chili cheese on top and place a slice of toasted cheese on top. Now add 4-5 jalapenos, put the lid on, and you’re done! Best eaten hot immediately after preparation, so don’t be surprised by the mess…
