JALAPENO POPPER BURGERS
This burger was really good. I questioned the lack of seasoning in the meat, but the jalapenos really are robust and make this burger pop with flavor. Each bite has a bit of heat from the jalapenos, the ranch dressing and the cheese mixture cool things down. The bacon on top is the perfect touch. This truly is a jalapeno...

Tips for Making the Best Jalapeño Popper Burgers:
- Choose high-quality ground beef for the burger patties. An 80/20 blend of chuck and brisket works well.
- Season the burger patties generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Don't overwork the burger patties. Just mix the ingredients together until they are combined. Overworking the meat will make the burgers tough.
- Cook the burger patties over medium heat until they are cooked through. Do not flip the burgers too often. Flipping them too often will make them dry.
- Use a good quality cream cheese for the jalapeño popper filling. A block of cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature will work best.
- Add plenty of shredded cheddar cheese to the jalapeño popper filling. The cheddar cheese will help to hold the filling together.
- Use fresh jalapeños for the filling. Remove the seeds from the jalapeños if you don't want the filling to be too spicy.
- Bake the jalapeño popper burgers until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 10 minutes.
