For extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce or liquid smoke to the ground beef mixture. If you don't have a grill, you can cook the burgers in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. For a spicier burger, use a hot taco seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture. Feel free to substitute the pepper jack cheese with your favorite cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or provolone.
