Jalapeno Popper Burgers
We've taken a simple burger recipe and made it pop with an easy three-ingredient jalapeño cheese topping. Ground sirloin is lean ground beef made exclusively from the center loin cut. It has less connective tissue than regular ground beef for a super-tender burger.
Ingredients:
- 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup shredded spicy cheese, such as chipotle cheddar or pepper jack (see tip)
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
- ¼ cup ketchup
Directions:
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Combine cream cheese, shredded cheese and jalapeño in a medium bowl, stirring and mashing with a fork. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form each into a 3-inch disk. Form sirloin into four patties about 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt.
- Grill the burgers until almost done, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place a cheese disk on each and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a burger registers 160 degrees F and the cheese starts to melt, 1 to 2 minutes more. During the last few minutes, toast buns on the grill.
- Top each burger with 1 tablespoon ketchup and serve on the buns.
