spicy Jalapeño cream cheese burger with all the fixings

Ingredients:


Jalapeño Cream Cheese Ingredients:

  • 5 medium jalapeños
  • 2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened


Burger Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef, we’d suggest 80% lean and 20% fat
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 8 hamburger buns
  • Olive oil

PREPARATION: 

 Before creating these delicious burgers, make sure to allow enough time for the cream cheese to become room temperature, and soften – about 30 minutes.


Cream Cheese Directions

  • Cut jalapeños in half, remove seeds and finely chop
  • In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and jalapeños
  • Stir mixture until well-combined, and set aside


Burger Directions

  • Fill grill with Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal and light
  • Divide ground beef into 16 even portions and press each portion into a 1/4 thick patty
  • Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper
  • Using a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture, and place onto the middle of half of the patties
  • Top each of the cream cheesed patties with the remaining 8 patties, and press the edges together to seal
  • Once coals are ashed over, place the burgers on the grill grate (depending on the size of your grill you might have to cook the patties in batches)
  • Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, flip and cook for another 6-8 minutes
  • If you prefer a toasted bun, place them on the indirect heat side of the grill until lightly toasted (about 2-3 minutes)
  • Serve up your stuffed burgers with your favorite toppings and sides!
