Queso Burgers
Servings: 2 · About 40 minutes
Ingredients:
2 thick patties of North 36 Farms ground beef
Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
Dill pickles
Crumbled bacon
Caramelized onions
Buns, plus a little mayo for toasting
Queso ingredients:
Half & half
Diced jalapeños
About 4 oz cheddar or American cheese
Dijon mustard
Worcestershire sauce
Method:
- Season the thick patties with salt and pepper, and let them rest while the coals come up.
- Caramelize the onions low and slow. For the queso: warm the half & half, steep the jalapeños, and melt in the cheese. Finish with Dijon and Worcestershire. No roux. It thickens as it cools.
- Get a cast iron skillet screaming hot over the coals. Lay the patties beef-side down so they cook in their own tallow. Press lightly, and flip once.
- Rest the burger like you would a steak.
- Build it: toasted bun, pickles, onions, bacon if you like, then a generous pour of queso.
