Cheeseburger Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers Food

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.

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with foil or spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Cut each jalapeno in half length wise and use a knife and spoon to hollow out the veins and seeds from each pepper. Add the jalapenos to the baking sheet.
• Heat the olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add the beef and crumble as it cooks. About half way through cooking, stir in the taco seasoning. When no longer pink, drain if need be and set aside.
• Stuff each half jalapeno with 1 teaspoon cream cheese, followed by a heaping of beef, and then sprinkled with cheddar. Repeat with all of the jalapenos.
• Bake for 25-35 minutes or until jalapenos are cooked to your liking and cheese is fully melted.
