Stuffed Jalapeño Bacon Burger 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.

BACON JALAPENO CHEDDAR STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• To form perfectly cooked patties, consider using a burger press.
• Preheat grill or griddle to high heat. Divide ground beef equally into three portions. For each portion, take about 2/3 of it and form it into a very flat patty with sides (again, this is super easy if using the burger press). Divide the jalapeno, bacon pieces, and cheese into three equal portions. Add 1/2 of the toppings to the meat. With the remaining 1/3, form the meat into a thin circle and top patty, sealing all edges. The goal is to have only ground beef on the outside and all of the toppings in the middle.
• Cook over a hot grill or griddle, 5-8 minutes per side, until done. Enjoy!

JALAPEñO & CHEDDAR STUFFED BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine beef, seasonings, egg and breadcrumbs and knead together with clean hands. Form 4 thin hamburger patties. On two of the patties, place cubes cheddar and chopped jalapeños in the centre, place a second beef patty on top, molding the edges together to form one burger patty.
• Pan fry or grill the burgers 5-6 minutes per side on medium heat, only flipping once. No oil needed, use a non-stick frying pan. Before removing from the pan, place Kraft single slices on the burgers for a minute or two to melt.
• Place burgers on a toasted bun, or bed of crispy lettuce, and top with tomato, onion, lettuce, and bacon. Spread mayo on the top bun and place on top to finish. Serve with your choice of side and enjoy!

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.
