A hearty burger that combines the bold flavors of jalapeño poppers with juicy beef patties, topped with melted cheese and ranch dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 jalapeños, sliced
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Mix the Cheesy Jalapeño Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, breadcrumbs, and sliced jalapeños until well combined. Set this flavorful filling aside.
  2. Form the Burger Patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and flatten each into thin patties. Season both sides with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble the Double-Decker Patties: Take one patty, place a spoonful of the jalapeño popper mixture in the center, and top it with another patty. Press the edges together to seal, forming 4 delectable stuffed burger patties.
  4. Cook the Burger Patties: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down slightly to get a nice sear. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each burger to melt to perfection.
  5. Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the skillet or grill until they’re golden brown and crispy.
  6. Build Your Burger: Spread a generous amount of ranch dressing on the bottom buns, then add the cheesy jalapeño popper smash burger and top it with the other half of the bun.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Indulge in these mouthwatering, spicy, and cheesy burgers while they’re hot, paired with your favorite side dish for a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding diced bacon to the jalapeño mixture. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burger patties are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 160°F.
