Jalapeno Cheese Burgers

Leave a comment

These Jalapeno Cheese Burgers are made with fresh Jalapeno Cheese, Organic Hamburger, panko bread  crumb an egg and then seasoned to perfection. 

Be sure to top each burger with some sauteed onions and fresh mustard to give it that extra kick.

You can’t go wrong with these burgers, really they are super tasty and not like any type of burger that you can order in the restaurants. Well that I have seen anyway…

I like to cook the burgers in my cast iron skillet, however you can use an indoor or outdoor grill for this recipe as well.

I find the cast iron skillet sears the meat perfectly creating a strong burger that doesn’t fall apart as easily as they could on a grill.

The trick to making these burgers is to shred the cheese right into the meat.

Then add just the right amount of panko bread crumbs and seasonings to taste.

If you want more heat then you can also chop up an actually Jalapeno pepper and add that to the meat as well.

Personally I find the cheese gives just the right amount of that flavor and so I’m fine with it.

Optional *add 1 tsp of chopped jalapenos to the meat, for extra heat.

*Top with the condiments that you like, such as Lettuce, Mayonnaise, Mustard, Ketchup, Relish, Pickles, Raw Onions etc.

I just love recipes that call for a little spice, don’t you? Impress yourself tonight with this no fuss recipe, which takes less than 10 minutes to prep. Simply allow it to cook in the slow cooker before shredding it with two forks before plating. While it’s cooking in your slow cooker, make some fresh homemade coleslaw and then simply let it sit in the fridge to cool before pairing with the shredded chicken. Serve with on a nice crusty bun and you have a great meal, can’t get any easier or delicious than that eh? This Chipotle Chicken recipe can be doubled and made for a larger crowd too, or stored in the fridge up to 3 days. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
