Ingredients

2 cups seeded and chopped jalapeno pepper
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 pounds ground beef
8 (2 ounce) hamburger buns, split

Directions

1 Preheat a grill for medium heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate.
2 Stir together jalapenos and cream cheese in a small bowl.
3 Divide ground beef into 16 portions. Pat out each one to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
4 Spoon some cream cheese mixture onto the center of 1/2 of the patties. Top with the remaining patties, and press the edges together to seal.
5 Cook on the preheated grill until well done, about 10 minutes per side. Don’t press down on the burgers as they cook, or the cheese will ooze out.
