Total Time:
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds ground chuck (85 percent lean or less)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- canola oil, for the grill
- 4 ounces pepper Jack, sliced
- 4 kaiser rolls, split
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced pickled jalapeños
Directions
- Heat grill to medium-high. Form the beef into four ¾-inch-thick patties. Use your fingers to make a shallow well in the top of each patty. (This will prevent overplumping during cooking.) Season with a total of ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Oil the grill and cook the patties with the wells facing up for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155° F for medium, 4 to 5 minutes more, topping the burgers with the pepper Jack during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- Grill the rolls until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Dividing evenly, spread the rolls with the barbecue sauce. Form sandwiches with the rolls, lettuce, burgers, tomato, and jalapeños.

High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
