Jalapeno Popper Burger
From McGough's Recipes
INGREDIENTS
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 c. shredded cheddar
- 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella
- 2 jalapeños, minced
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 1/2 angus ground beef
- 4 burger buns
DIRECTIONS
- Make filling: In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in cooked bacon.
- Form ground beef into 8 large, thin rounds (about ¼”).
- Spoon about ¼ cup of filling mixture onto one patty, then place a second patty on top. Pinch edges to seal burger and re-shape into a disc if necessary. Repeat with remaining patties and filling mixture.
- Preheat grill to medium-high. Season burgers on both sides with chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place on grill and cook until cooked through to your liking, about 6 minutes per side for medium.
- Sandwich with burger buns and serve immediately.
