This Jalapeño Cheddar Burger is built for people who want heat, cheese, and big grill flavor all in one bite. Creekstone Farms brisket blend patties are stuffed with LEM high-temp cheddar, cotija, diced jalapeño, and a hit of Worcestershire, then seasoned with Cattleman's Grill Road House Beef Seasoning and cooked over direct heat on GrillGrates for a serious sear and clean release. The real showstopper is the white cheddar sauce — made with sodium citrate for a perfectly smooth, pourable melt every time — spiked with Heat Maverick's Jalapeño Vice Hot Sauce for an extra kick that builds on the jalapeño already packed inside the patty.
A crisp, cool baconnaise slaw with shaved romaine, red onion, and pickled jalapeños sits underneath the burger, while a toasted brioche bun — finished on the Yoder Smokers Cast Iron Griddle — holds everything together. It's a burger that earns every ingredient on it. Perfect for summer cookouts, backyard entertaining, or any time you want to make a burger that people will actually remember.
