First, prepare the buns*. While they’re resting, prepare the following: For the ranch dressing, put the mayo, cream cheese, buttermilk, onion powder, salt, and chives in a bowl, press in the garlic, and mix well. Finely dice the jalapenos and mix well with the cream cheese. Preheat a pan. Divide the ground beef into 3 portions. Halve each portion. Place the first half in a patty press, for example, and press into shape. Place 1 tablespoon of jalapeno cream cheese in the middle, then take the other half, flatten it a little, place it in the press, and press everything into a patty. Cut the bacon into roughly 5 mm cubes and fry in the pan. Remove the bacon from the pan and serve on a small plate or bowl. Now salt one side of the patties well and fry them in the same pan (the rendered fat from the bacon is enough and gives the patties extra flavor). After flipping, top each patty with two slices of cheddar cheese, add a generous splash of water to the pan, and cover. We prefer to cook the patties medium-rare, which is about 2-3 minutes per side. Once you’ve removed the patties from the pan, cut the buns open and briefly toast them in the pan until golden. To serve: Place a patty on the bottom of the bun, then drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of the Ranch dressing and sprinkle with bacon. Now add the top. * http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/3271031486033286/Brioche-Broetchen-bzw-Burger-Buns.html
