Jeans Bacon Jalapeno Cream Cheese Stuffed Burgers Recipes

STUFFED JALAPENO POPPER BACON CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Grill jalapenos, turning as needed, until they are charred and blistered all over, about 7-8 minutes. Place jalapenos in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes to loosen skins. Peel off skin, cut in half, and remove seeds from jalapenos.
• Chop roasted jalapenos and add half of them to the cream cheese (reserve rest for dressing). Mix well to combine.
• Divide and form the beef into 8 equal pattties. Place 1/4 of the jalapeno - cream cheese mixture onto 4 of the patties, and then top with the remaining 4 plain patties. Completely pinch sides closed to seal in the mixture and reform patties.
• Season generously with Kosher salt.
• Grill burgers over medium-high heat with grill-lid closed until cooked to desired doneness, about 3-6 minutes per side (brushing the grill first with a little bit of oil will prevent burgers from sticking). During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with cheddar cheese slice.
• Assemble burgers on buns with bacon, avocado slices, and the avocado-jalapeno ranch dressing. Devour immediately.
• Combine 1 avocado with ranch dressing in a food processor until smooth. Stir in remaining roasted jalapenos.

STUFFED JALAPEñO-BACON BURGER

Steps:

• Remove seeds from jalapenos, cut up and sauté for 5 minutes; set aside.
• Finely chop three slices of KRAFT Big Slice Colby Jack Cheese and mix with the cream cheese.
• Add jalapenos and three slices chopped bacon. Mix well and set aside.
• Form the eight burger portions into thin patties. Make sure they are similar in size.
• Distribute the jalapeno cheese mixture evenly over four burger patties. Use the remaining patties as tops. Mold together, making sure the edges are crimped tight.
• Cook on a hot grill. Make sure you don't flip them over too much. Try to cook one side completely before turning. When burgers are about ready, add another slice of Colby Jack cheese on top and let melt.
• Garnish burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, 2 slices of bacon and aioli.
• Note: Don't worry if a little stuffing escapes during the cooking process.
