   • Start by preparing the slaw for the double cheeseburger. Wash the cabbage, remove the central stem, and use a mandoline to finely shred the cabbage into thin strips.
   • Peel and trim the carrots, then grate them using a coarse grater.
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of ketchup. Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrots to the bowl. Mix well and set aside.

2. Form the Beef Patties:

   • Take the ground beef and divide it into 8 equal portions by hand. Gently form each portion into a patty, making sure that each burger holds its shape during cooking.
   • Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.

3. Cook the Patties:

   • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Place the patties in the skillet, seasoning the side facing up with salt and pepper.
   • Cook the first side of the patties for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Flip the patties over and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid and lower the heat to medium.
   • Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted and the patties are cooked through.

4. Toast the Burger Buns:

   • In the same skillet, quickly toast the cut sides of the burger buns for a minute or so, just until they are golden and slightly crisp.

5. Assemble the Double Cheeseburger:

   • Start by placing the bottom half of the toasted bun on each plate. Add a layer of the cabbage and carrot slaw.
   • Stack one beef patty on top of the slaw, followed by another patty with melted cheddar cheese.
   • Top with a couple of slices of pickled jalapeno peppers and a few fresh baby spinach leaves for extra flavor and crunch.
   • Finish with the top half of the burger bun.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Your double cheeseburgers are now ready to serve! Pair them with your favorite side dish or enjoy them as they are for a satisfying, flavorful meal.
