Double Spicy Cheese Beef Burger

Indulge in a bold double-patty beef burger loaded with melted cheese, sautéed onions, vibrant peppers, and creamy avocado for a fiery, satisfying bite.

Ingredients

• 2 beef patties
• 2 burger buns
• 2 cheese slices
• 1 avocado, mashed
• 1 white onion, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 red chili peppers, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• to taste spicy sauce
• to taste sea salt
• to taste black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Heat the skillet

   

   Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a generous drizzle of olive oil. Ensure the oil coats the entire bottom of the pan as it begins to shimmer, creating a non-stick surface for your ingredients.

   Tip: Allow the skillet to get sufficiently hot before adding the oil; the oil should ripple but not smoke when it is ready.
2. 2Sauté the onions

   

   Add the sliced onions to the hot skillet. Use a spatula to stir them constantly, ensuring they cook evenly until they become translucent and slightly golden brown.

   Tip: Keep the onions moving to prevent them from burning, as they will caramelize quickly in the high-heat cast iron.
3. 3Add peppers and chilies

   

   Incorporate the sliced green bell peppers and small red chili peppers into the pan with the sautéed onions. Continue to stir-fry until the peppers soften and the chilies release their spicy aroma.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of chili peppers based on your preferred heat level; keep the seeds for an extra spicy kick.
4. 4Season the vegetables

   

   Evenly sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the sautéing vegetables. Toss the mixture thoroughly to ensure every piece is well-seasoned and flavorful.

   Tip: Seasoning during the sauté process helps the vegetables release their moisture and enhances their natural flavors.
5. 5Melt the cheese

   

   Place a slice of cheese directly onto the seared beef patty. Allow it to sit undisturbed for a moment until the heat causes the cheese to melt and drape beautifully over the edges of the meat.

   Tip: Cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds to speed up the melting process if needed.
6. 6Prepare the bun

   

   Generously spread your signature spicy sauce over the inner surface of the toasted bun, then follow it with a thick, smooth layer of mashed avocado to provide a creamy contrast.

   Tip: Toast the bun until golden brown to ensure it holds the sauce and avocado without becoming soggy.
7. 7Assemble the burger

   

   Carefully layer the cheese-topped, seared beef patties onto the bottom bun which has been spread with a creamy avocado base. Ensure the patties are centered to maintain the structural integrity of the burger.

   Tip: Press down lightly on the patties to secure them against the avocado spread so they dont slide.
8. 8Sear the beef patties

   

   Place the seasoned raw ground beef patty into a hot preheated skillet. Cook until a dark flavorful crust forms on the bottom side before flipping to cook the other side to your desired doneness.

   Tip: Ensure your skillet is smoking hot before adding the meat for the best crust development.
9. 9Final burger assembly

   

   Place the toasted top bun onto the stack of ingredients to complete the burger assembly. Gently press the top down to help the layers settle.

   Tip: If the burger is too tall, use a bamboo skewer to hold everything in place while serving.
