Jalapeño Popper Burgers

4
oz.

cream cheese, softened

1/2
c.

shredded cheddar

1/2
c.

shredded mozzarella

2

jalapeños, minced

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

6

slices bacon, cooked and chopped

1/2
tsp.

chili powder

1 1/2

angus ground beef

4

burger buns

1. Make filling: In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in cooked bacon. 
2. Form ground beef into 8 large, thin rounds (about ¼”). Spoon about ¼ cup of filling mixture onto one patty, then place a second patty on top. Pinch edges to seal burger and re-shape into a disc if necessary. Repeat with remaining patties and filling mixture. 
3. Preheat grill to medium-high. Season burgers on both sides with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Place on grill and cook until cooked through to your liking, about 6 minutes per side for medium.
4. Sandwich with burger buns and serve immediately.
