Ingredients

  • 6 Hamburger Buns
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper
  • 3 Roma Tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 lb 80/20 Ground Beef
  • 2 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Jalapeno Peppers
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 dash Salt
  • 1 dash Ground Black Pepper

Method

  • On a grill turned to high or in a 500F oven, roast 2 jalapeno peppers for 10-15 minutes or until skin has charred and flesh is softened.
  • Divide ground beef into 6 equal patties.
  • Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper and cook to your liking on a grill, skillet, or griddle.
  • While burgers/jalapenos are cooking, mix jalapeno popper sauce ingredients together into a medium mixing bowl.
  • Remove burgers and roasting jalapenos from heat.
  • Peel away charred skin of the jalapenos.
  • Finely dice both of them, add to jalapeno popper sauce, and stir until mixed.
  • If you don't want as much spice, remove the ribs/seeds from one of the roasted jalapenos before dicing.
  • To plate, open bun and place a burger patty on the bottom topped with a spoonful of the sauce.
  • Add 2-3 slices of Roma tomatoes and a desired amount of thinly sliced raw jalapeno pepper.
