Sonic's Jalapeño Burger

Recipe Instructions Shape the ground beef into a thin circle the same diameter as the bun. Cover the patty with wax paper and freeze it. When you're ready to prepare the burger, preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray some butter spray or spread a thin layer of melted butter on the faces of the top and bottom bun. Lightly brown the faces of the bun in the skillet, then remove them and set them aside. Grill the beef patty in the skillet, and lightly sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Cook the beef for 3 to 4 minutes per side until done. As the patty cooks, build the burger by first spreading the mustard over the face of the bottom bun. Arrange the jalapeño slices on the mustard. Arrange the lettuce on the sandwich next. When the beef is ready, stack it on top of the other condiments, and top off the sandwich with the top bun. If you'd like the sandwich hotter, microwave it on high for 10 to 15 seconds. This recipe yields 1 sandwich.
