Spicy Serrano Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup dark beer (such as Guinness(R))
1 (6 inch) serrano pepper, diced
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers

Preparation

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Mix ground beef, beer, serrano pepper, and butter together in a bowl; form into 4 patties.
Cook the burgers on the preheated grill for 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking for 3 minutes. Top each burger with 1 slice Monterey Jack cheese and cook until burgers are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
