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.
