How to Make Jalapeno Popper Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Shape the meat mixture into 12 thin patties, each about 4 inches in diameter.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix 4 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 tbsp ancho chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp dried onion flakes, and 1-2 minced jalapenos (adjust to your spice preference).
  4. Top 6 patties with about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture, spreading it to within 1/2-inch of the edge.
  5. Cover each patty with one of the remaining 6 patties, sealing the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  6. Preheat your grill or broiler. Cook the burgers for 10-15 minutes, turning only once if possible, until cooked to your desired doneness and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. **Low-Carb Serving:** Top with a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese, a dollop of guacamole, and enjoy!
  8. **High-Carb Serving:** Serve on toasted buns with your favorite burger toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.).
