Behind the Recipe
Even Cowboys Crave Variety
Did you know that Hamburg, Germany is the birthplace of the hamburger? Appropriate, ain’t it? While Hamburg certainly made burgers what they are today, some claim that the concept of minced beef predates the German port town. It has been said that the Mongol cavalry first ate a similar form of meat, steak tartare, as early as the 12th century!
Whatever its origins, over the years the hamburger has become a hallmark of cookout culture, and today there are more variations than we could possibly count. So without further adieu, here’s another for the heap:
This jalapeño cream cheese-stuffed burger possesses the spice and spontaneity that any tong-wielding trailblazer worth their stirrups will crave. Say that five times fast, partner.

While bacon cooks, create the cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, mix together cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella, and chopped jalapeño peppers. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then fold in cooked bacon bits.

Grab your burger patties and spoon approximately a ¼ cup of filling mixture onto one, then place a second beef patty on top. Pinch the patty edges to seal the burger. Re-shape the ground beef patties into a disc if necessary. Repeat this process with the remaining patties and filling mixture.

Season the beef burgers on both sides with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Place prepared burgers on the grill and cook until cooked through, or to your preference. For a medium cook, grill about 6 minutes per side.
