Jalapeno Cream Cheese Burger Food

JALAPENO CREAM CHEESE BURGER

Steps:

• Using an immersion blender, cream the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
• Stir in rest of ingredients and set aside until ready to use.
• Prepare your burgers as you wish. Season them generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill to desired temperature. Feel free to throw in some extra chilies with the meat. Sometimes I also grate some jalapeno cheese and hide it in the middle.
• I always butter and toast my buns on the grill. Watch carefully so they don't burn.
• When burgers are just about cooked, place a heaping tablespoon of jalapeno cream cheese on top of burger. Close grill and let heat briefly, then top with bun.
• When ready to serve you may serve these with extra chile strips, some pickles, some chili and extra onion. We forego the ketchup and mustard, but that is up to you!

CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• 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 1/4 inch thickness. Spoon some of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of 8 of the patties. Top with the 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 toppings.

KITTENCAL'S JALAPENO-CREAM CHEESE STUFFED HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Set grill to medium heat.
• Oil the grill grates.
• In a bowl stir together the softened cream cheese with jalapeno pepper; mix until combined.
• In a bowl combine the ground beef with onion soup mix and garlic, then add whatever other seasonings you desire, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, etc (do not add in any extra salt to the ground beef mixture as the dry onion soup mixture already has enough salt).
• Divide into 16 equal portions.
• Pat out each portion to about 1/3-inch thickness (can make a little larger if desired).
• Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese into the center of 8 patty (do not spread out the mixture).
• Top with remaining patties, pressing down the edges to seal the meat together.
• Grill for about 10 minutes per side or until well done (do NOT press down on the burgers while cooking or this will make the cheese come out).
• Serve on buns with favorite toppings.

JALAPENO POPPER BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix the cream cheese, ancho chili powder, cumin, dried onion, and minced jalapeno.
• Top 6 patties with the cheese mixture, spreading it to within 1/2-inch of the edge (if the mixture is difficult to spread, try heating in the microwave for about 15 seconds).
• Cover each patty with one of the remaining 6 patties, sealing the edges well.
• Broil or grill the patties (4 inches from the heat), turning only once if possible, until preferred doneness and cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Low-carb serving: top with a bit of grated cheddar, guacamole, and enjoy!
• High-carb serving: eat with a bun and other condiments.
