Best Burger Recipes
Grilling season is so here, even if it is a little early–so it’s time for some of the best burger recipes ever!
I am a huge fan of jalapeno poppers and this burger recipe brings that flavor to a burger. It’s the best of both worlds and not much more work than your typical burger, either.
These make a great presentation or, rather, they would if I hadn’t of made hubs run it under the flame a smidgen longer. Oops. These are made small, slider-style. Is that fun or what? Leave off the toppings if kids are around–they will, however, appreciate the size!

Personally, I like my burgers more well-done than this recipe made them. Keep your perfect level of cooked beef in mind as you begin. You may want to hold off on brushing with the cream cheese mixture and topping with cheese until your burgers are a bit farther along.
If you don't want the small, slider-style of hamburger, just make your burgers as normal, adjust cooking time for the larger size, and do the rest the same. The Cream Cheese mixture makes a lot--and would still work just fine for regular-sized burgers. Make sure you have the correct bun size, then!
