Jalapeno Cheddar Stuffed Burgers
What you'll need:
1 - 2 lbs ground beef
1 - 2 medium jalapenos
block of cheddar cheese
salt & pepper to taste
1 avocado (optional)
This yields 4 hefty and delicious burgers
Prepare by slicing your jalapenos thinly, quartering them if you prefer, and cubing the cheddar cheese until you have enough to fill your patties.
Salt & pepper your ground beef to your liking, with the jalapeno and cheddar flavors, you'll need very little. Next, use the ground beef to begin molding the bases of your patties. You will end up almost making 2 thin patties for each burger, one made for the bottom which will have a bowl like shape in order to hold the cheddar and jalapenos and another to cover and seal into one patty. Begin by molding your base patty. You'll want to begin by creating a flat patty, then working the center so that it slowly becomes indented, almost like a mini pie. Once you have the base, fill it with as much cheddar and jalapenos as your heart desires
Work the second half of the patty to cover and seal, in the end you'll have a regular looking patty with a secret pocket of goodness inside.
Continue until you have 4 complete burgers
I opted to cook these on my George Foreman grill. No matter what your cooking method, these burgers should take no longer than 7 to 10 minutes to cook thoroughly. Once you have cooked them to your preferred wellness, remove from the grill and let stand for 2 minutes before cutting or biting into as the cheddar cheese will be piping hot. Once slightly cooked, top with condiments and toppings of your choice, I went with some California avocado I'd been using for another recipe and it was delicious.
Now, devour.
