Jalapeno Popper Burgers

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Burgers

Ingredients

  • 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup shredded spicy cheese, such as chipotle Cheddar or pepper Jack
  • 1 medium jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 1 lb. ground sirloin
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1/4 cup ketchup

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

  2. Combine cream cheese, shredded cheese and jalapeno in a medium bowl, stirring and mashing with a fork. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form each into a 3-inch disk. Form sirloin into four patties about 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt.

  3. Grill the burgers until almost done, 3-4 minutes per side. Place a cheese disk on each and continue cooking until cooked to your liking and the cheese starts to melt, 1-2 minutes more. During the last few minutes, toast buns on the grill.

  4. Top each burger with 1 tbsp. ketchup and serve on the buns.
