Method
Burger Preparation
Prepare the Burger Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal parts and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
Assembly
Prep the Toppings
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato and prepare the lettuce and jalapeños.
Add Cream Cheese
Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the heat and spread 2 oz of cream cheese on each patty. Allow it to melt slightly.
Assemble the Burger
On each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cream cheese topped patty, jalapeños, and tomato slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.
Serve
Close the burger with the top half of the bun and serve immediately while hot.
