Instructions

1. Divide the minced beef into 8 equal portions. Form each portion into a ball, then flatten into a patty about 1 cm thick, making it slightly larger than the buns as the meat will shrink when cooking. Season each patty with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 71 °C (160 °F). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of processed cheese on 4 of the patties to melt.
3. Toast the burger buns in the frying pan or under a grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
4. On each bottom bun, place a patty, arrange some sliced jalapenos on top, place a patty with melted cheese on the jalapenos, cover with the top bun, and serve.
