Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef sausage
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
- 3 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
Seasonings and Cheese:
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly amalgamate all components until uniformly blended, ensuring even distribution of jalapeños and cheese throughout the meat mixture.
- Prepare a parchment-lined workspace by coating the surface with culinary release spray to prevent adherence.
- Deposit half the sausage composition onto the prepared parchment, then overlay with another spray-coated parchment sheet to facilitate smooth flattening.
- Utilize a rolling implement to transform the covered mixture into a consistent layer approximately 1/2 inch thick, creating an even surface.
- Carefully remove the top parchment layer and employ a circular cutting tool or drinking vessel with a 3-4 inch diameter to craft precise round patties, methodically repositioning and cutting to maximize meat usage.
- For those preferring manual shaping, gently form uniform circular discs using clean hands, maintaining consistent thickness.
- Heat a expansive skillet over medium-low temperature, allowing gentle cooking that preserves moisture and prevents burning. Cook patties in batches, dedicating 4-5 minutes per side until achieving a rich golden-brown exterior and confirming internal temperature reaches 160°F for food safety.
- Transfer immediately to serving plates, presenting these zesty, melty sausage delicacies while piping hot.
Notes
- Customize Heat Level by adjusting the number of jalapeños or choosing between fresh or pickled peppers for varied spiciness.
- Substitute ground pork with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option that maintains similar texture and flavor profile.
- Freeze uncooked patties between parchment paper sheets for convenient meal prep, storing up to 3 months in an airtight container.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness and food safety, checking internal temperature reaches 160°F without overcooking.
