Best Burger Recipes: Jalapeno Popper Hamburgers
Grilling season is so here, even if it is a little early–so it’s time for some of the best burger recipes ever!
I am a huge fan of jalapeno poppers and this burger recipe brings that flavor to a burger. It’s the best of both worlds and not much more work than your typical burger, either.
These make a great presentation or, rather, they would if I hadn’t of made my husband, Jeremy, run it under the flame a smidgen longer. Oops. These are made small, slider-style. Is that fun or what? Leave off the toppings if kids are around–they will, however, appreciate the size!

Best Burger Recipes: Jalapeno Popper Hamburgers
If you don't want the small, slider-style of hamburger, just make your burgers as normal, adjust cooking time for the larger size, and do the rest the same. The Cream Cheese mixture makes a lot--and would still work just fine for regular-sized burgers. Make sure you have the correct bun size, then!
