Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 medium Jalapenos, minced
• 4 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 Hamburger buns, toasted
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Sliced tomato

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, minced jalapenos, and crumbled bacon. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a thin patty (about 4 inches in diameter).

Step 3

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of 4 patties, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.

Step 4

Place the remaining 4 patties over the filled patties, carefully sealing the edges to encase the filling completely.

Step 5

Sprinkle both sides of the patties with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan.

Step 7

Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the meat is fully cooked, being careful not to press on the patties to avoid spilling the filling.

Step 8

Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Top with the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy, cheesy jalapeno popper burgers!
