Helpful Tools
How to Make Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Burgers
- Combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, and diced jalapeño in a medium mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and beef seasoning well.
- Preheat your grill, Blackstone or skillet to a medium-high heat. While it preheats, divide the ground beef mixture into 12 equally sized balls, then press them out into patties.
- Top 6 of the patties with the cream cheese mixture and then place a plain patty on top. Seal the edges well so that the cream cheese filling doesn’t leak out.
- Place the stuffed burger patties onto the preheated grill and then cook for 8-9 minutes. Flip and cook for 8-9 more minutes on the other side, or until the burgers reach a safe internal temperature.
- Pull the jalapeño popper stuffed burgers off the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Then serve on buns and enjoy!
How to Store Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Burgers
Allow the patties to cool completely and then transfer to an airtight container or wrap individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
FRIDGE: Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
FREEZER: After wrapping individually, transfer to a freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw before reheating.
Do I need to remove the seeds from jalapenos?
For stuffed burgers, I recommend removing as many seeds as your can before dicing the peppers. The seeds could end up in the burger and may make a funny texture if there’s too many.

Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese and jalapeno. Mix well and set aside.
- In another medium sized bowl mix together the ground beef and beef seasoning until combined.
