Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Burger

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large jalapeño pepper chopped
  • 1 ounce reduced fat cream cheese
  • 1 ounce shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 pinch cumin
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 rolls
  • Optional toppings: red onion lettuce, additional cheddar

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the jalapeño, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and cumin. Mix well.
  • Divide the beef into eight pieces; shape into patties about the same diameter as your rolls, pressing the centers very thin but leaving a 1/4-inch ridge around the edges. Divide the filling evenly between four patties, spreading it evenly to fill the center of the burger. Top with the remaining 4 patties, flipping them over so the thin center forms a pocket over the filling. Press the edges to seal.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Place the burgers in the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. If desired, top with additional cheddar cheese.
  • Serve on rolls with lettuce and thinly sliced red onion.
