    Prepare the Burger Patties:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped jalapeños, breadcrumbs, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

    Cook the Burger Patties:

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.

    Melt the Pepper Jack Cheese:

1. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to allow the cheese to melt.

    Assemble the Jalapeño Jackpot Burger:

2. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly browned.
3. Spread a dollop of mayonnaise or your preferred burger sauce on the bottom bun.
4. Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce.
