How to Make Voodoo Ranch Smash Burger Queso Step by Step
1. Brown the Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and burger seasoning. Cook for six to eight minutes, breaking the meat into small crumbles until fully browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.
2. Cook the Vegetables
Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter, diced onion, and jalapeño to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for four minutes until softened and fragrant.
