Ingredients

2 lb (1kg) ground beef / beef mince
1 lb (500g) ground pork / pork mince
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 eggs beaten
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
1-2 fresh jalapeños finely chopped (remove seeds if you want it less spicy)
4-5 tsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried oregano

Instructions

Combine the meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, grated cheese, jalapeños and seasoning in a large bowl.
Using your hands, mix together until everything is fully combined.
Fry a tablespoon of the mixture in a hot pan and taste for seasoning. Adjust if necessary.
With wet hands, form the mixture into 12 patties. I made mine around 5oz/150g but make them bigger if you prefer.
At this point, I wrapped the patties in strips of parchment paper and frozen them in freezer bags. I'll thaw them overnight in the fridge before cooking.
To cook, heat a large nonstick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through.
Serve on toasted buns with toppings of your choice.
