It’s burger season! It’s time to start firing up those grills and enjoy those tasty BBQ meals. Add a little spice to your burgers with this Jalapeno Burger recipe that’s easy to prepare and cook. If you have a portable grill, you can cook up a storm while you’re out on the road.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1/2 cup 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 pound ground beef
  • 4 burger buns

DIRECTIONS

  1. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in cooked bacon.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Sandwich with burger buns and serve immediately.
