CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO HAMBURGERS

CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO HAMBURGERS
“These cream cheese jalapeno hamburgers will add spice to your next cook out. You can also add the jalapenos and cream cheese when you mix the ground beef”


2 cups seeded and chopped jalapeno peppers
2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
2 pounds ground beef
8 hamburger buns split


Preheat a grill for medium heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate. In a medium bowl, stir together the jalapenos and cream cheese.

Divide the ground beef into 16 portions and pat out each one to ¼-inch thickness. Spoon some of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of 8 of the patties. Top with remaining patties, pressing the edges together to seal.

Grill for about 10 minutes per side, or until well-done, taking care not to press down on the burgers as they cook. This will make the cheese ooze out. Serve on buns with your favorite topping.

Yield: 8 servings.
