Stuffed Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers
Ingredients
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the grill to a medium or medium-high heat.
-
In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, cheese, garlic powder and diced jalapenos.
-
Shape ground beef into eight 3-oz. portions on waxed paper. A kitchen scale comes in handy for this.
-
Press each portion into a 4-inch patty using the back of a table fork. Take 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture and place it into the middle of a patty. Repeat with three more patties. Then, with the back of the fork, press the mixture flat into a disc in the center of the patty. Repeat with the other 3 patties.
-
Cover each filled patty with one of the remaining patties. With a fork, crimp the edges of the patties to trap all that melty goodness inside the burgers.
-
Season the outsides of the patties with salt and ground pepper to taste and then head to the grill.
-
Grill burgers over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired temperature.
