Stuffed Hamburgers

I rarely buy or cook red meat, especially not ground beef. We are pretty much a ground turkey family. But sometimes, a good burger calls for some higher fat, delicious beef!! This stuffed hamburger was goooood, even Stephen got in on the assembling action!! An easy burger twist you must try!

2 lbs ground beef

1 jalapeno, finely minced

your fav cheese (we used sharp cheddar and jack)

toppings (lettuce, tomatoes, onion)

Thousand Island Dressing (just mix some ketchup, mayo and relish!)

Extra pickled jalapenos for extra spicy (optional)

Directions:

• Season your ground beef with salt, pepper and garlic powder
• For 2 hamburgers, form into 4 thin patties
• Layer cheese and jalapenos on 2 patties and then put plain patties on top, creating a flavor pocket :)
• Grill them up! We didn't want to get out the BBQ so we just did it inside on the stove. I am sure a BBQ would be even better though
• When the burger is cooked like you like it, remove and slightly toast up buns
• Assemble your hamburger and then devour!!
• To make the Thousand Island dressing from scratch, just do 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of mayo and 1 tablespoon pickle relish.
