Stuffed Jalapeno Popper Bacon Cheeseburger 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.

JALAPENO POPPER BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix meat, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
• Shape the mixture into 12 thin patties, each about 4 inches in diameter.
• 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.
