Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeño Popper Spread

    In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burgers

    In the same skillet, drain excess fat if necessary, and shape the ground beef into 4 patties. Season with salt and pepper. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly. On each bun, spread a generous amount of jalapeño popper spread, add the cooked burger patty, top with crispy bacon, fresh jalapeños, pickled red onions, and drizzle with fuego sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers warm with your favorite side dishes.
