Commissary Jalapeño Jack Burgers
What it is
These are pre-formed hamburger patties. They are made with ground beef and contain pieces of jalapeño pepper and Monterey Jack cheese mixed throughout. The cheese melts during cooking, creating pockets of creamy, spicy flavor within the beef. They offer a convenient way to enjoy a flavorful burger without needing to season or form the patties yourself. The combination of spicy jalapeño and mild, melty cheese is a popular choice for those who like a bit of heat and richness.
How people cook with it
These burgers are perfect for grilling or pan-frying. They are designed for quick and easy meal preparation.

- Backyard barbecues
- Picnics and outdoor events
- Casual entertaining
To cook, simply remove the patties from their packaging. You can grill them over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Alternatively, pan-fry them in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, for a similar cooking time. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level. Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and a dollop of sour cream to complement the spice.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain beef patties, these burgers come pre-seasoned and infused with jalapeño and cheese. This means they offer a built-in flavor profile, saving you the step of adding individual ingredients. The cheese also contributes to a moister texture compared to leaner, unadulterated beef.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and convenient burger option for family meals or gatherings.
How to keep the rest
Keep any unused patties refrigerated in their original packaging or in an airtight container. They should be consumed within a few days of opening the package. For longer storage, they can be frozen, but it's best to use them within a couple of months for optimal quality.
