How to Make Cream Cheese Stuffed Jalapeno Burgers
- Step One: Mix together cream cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, cumin, jalapenos and green onions in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
- Step Two: Shape ground beef into 12 (3 oz) portions and flatten into patties with a clean, gloved hand.
- Step Three: Top six of the patties with a tablespoonful of cream cheese mixture. Cover with one of the remaining patties and press together with your gloved fingers to seal the edges.
- Step Four: Grill over medium heat until they are fully cooked. I used an indoor grill and they took about 10 minutes to cook.
- Step Five: Dress your burger with guacamole, sliced cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon or whatever other toppings you enjoy.
With these stuffed burgers, I had to seal the filling inside the two burgers with my fingers. It was a bit like making a burger sandwich.
You must try this burger recipe this summer! I made Cream Cheese Stuffed Jalapeno Burgers and boy were they good! They turned out beautifully.
Inside is a spicy, creamy and cheesy filling. It’s like a hidden surprise because you can’t tell it’s in there by looking at the whole burger. A few bites in and you’ll see what I mean!
If you want to save on time, buy the ground beef that is already shaped into burger patties in the meat department at your local grocery store. Then you just need to add the cream cheese topping to one side and cover it with another burger. They take just a teeny bit of extra effort to make, but the end result is so worth it. Stuffed burgers are the bomb!
Fire up the grill this summer and give this yummy burger recipe a try.
