Ingredients
  

Cream Cheese Mixture
  • 1 package cream cheese 8 oz (226g), softened
  • 0.5 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3 jalapenos seeded and chopped
  • 0.5 tsp cumin
  • 2 green onions chopped

  • 2.5 lb lean ground beef
  • 6 hamburger buns
  • 1 head Lettuce

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Mix together softened cream cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped jalapenos, cumin, and chopped green onions in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
  2. Divide the ground beef into 12 equal (approximately 3 oz) portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty.
  3. Take six of the patties and top each with a tablespoonful of the cream cheese mixture. Cover with the remaining six patties and carefully press the edges together with your fingers to seal the stuffing inside.
  4. Grill the stuffed burgers over medium heat until they are fully cooked through, about 10 minutes, flipping once. (An indoor grill can also be used).
  5. Serve the cooked burgers on hamburger buns and dress with your favorite toppings such as guacamole, sliced cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon.
