For the burger
2 burger buns
240 g ground beef
30 g nacho chips
2 tbsp guacamole
Butter for spreading
Pinch of salt
Oil for frying
For the Cheese Whiz
8 slices of cheddar
30 g jalapeños (from the jar)
100 ml milk
1 tsp flour
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp baking soda
Salt & pepper
Preparation in 6 steps
Start with the Cheese Whiz: In a small saucepan on the stove, melt the milk and cheese over medium heat, stirring constantly. Sift in the flour and keep stirring until the mixture thickens. Add the jalapeños and chili flakes. Then add the baking soda and keep stirring until the mixture foams slightly. Finally, season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, preheat another zone of the stovetop with a pan and some oil or the gas grill with a reversible plate by setting it to direct high heat.
The ground beef should be formed into four equal-sized balls and then pressed into thin burger patties about 0.5 cm thick using a burger press or grill spatula.
The patties should be fried or grilled for a few minutes per side. After that, they should be heated in the indirect zone of the grill to the desired degree of doneness.
The burger buns are cut open and both halves are spread with butter. They are then roasted with the cut side down on the grill plate or in the pan for a few minutes.
Spread the bottom half of the bun with guacamole. Top half with nacho chips, the first smashed patty and half of the Cheese Whiz. Then add the second smashed patty, guacamole and the remaining nacho chips. Pour the remaining Cheese Whiz over the whole thing. Finish off the burger with the top half of the bun and finally serve.
