Ingredients

• Ground beef - 400 grams
• Jalapeños - 2 medium, diced
• Cream cheese - 100 grams, softened
• Cheddar cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Bacon - 4 slices, cooked and crumbled
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - ½ teaspoon
• Black pepper - ½ teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Romaine lettuce - 2 leaves
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Mix until well combined and set aside.
2. In another bowl, mix the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Cook the burger patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, generously top each patty with the jalapeño popper mixture and cover to melt the cheese.
5. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the burger patty topped with the jalapeño popper filling, and finish with tomato slices. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
