Description
Jalapeño Cheddar Stuffed Burgers are juicy, flavorful beef patties filled with melted cheddar cheese and spicy jalapeños. Perfectly grilled or pan-seared, they deliver a delicious kick with every bite and are ideal for a hearty lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (85/15)
- 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, diced or shredded
- 2 jalapeños, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce, tomato, and condiments of choice
Instructions
- Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
- Divide ground beef into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty.
- On 4 of the patties, sprinkle diced cheddar and jalapeños evenly.
- Top each with the remaining patties and seal edges by pressing together to form stuffed burgers.
- Season both sides of each burger with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Grill or sear burgers for 4–5 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached.
- Serve on hamburger buns with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments.
Notes
- Ensure patties are sealed tightly to prevent cheese from leaking out while cooking.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity based on desired spice level.
- For added flavor, toast the buns lightly on the grill before serving.
