Critical Success Points

  • Render bacon with water to ensure even fat rendering and prevent splatter.
  • Remove jalapeño seeds to control heat level.
  • Form the jalapeño popper mixture into a compact patty so it stays together.
  • Steam melt the American cheese for a smooth melt without overcooking the meat.
  • Toast buns with mayonnaise for a golden, flavorful crust.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot skillet and steam can cause burns; use oven mitts.
  • Capsaicin from jalapeños can irritate skin and eyes; wear gloves when handling.
  • Cook ground beef to an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C) for safety.
