Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 whole Fresh jalapeños, diced
- 0.25 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 whole Hamburger buns
- 0 Lettuce, tomato, onion, or other optional burger toppings
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, combine the cream cheese, diced jalapeños, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended and set aside.
Step 3
Divide the ground beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
Step 4
Place about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of 4 of the patties. Spread slightly, leaving a small border around the edge.
Step 5
Cover each filled patty with one of the remaining unfilled patties. Pinch the edges tightly to seal and shape gently into a uniform burger.
Step 6
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing down on the burgers to prevent the cheese filling from leaking out.
Step 7
Toast the hamburger buns briefly on the grill or skillet, if desired.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers: place the cooked patties on the buns and add your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy!
