Ingredients
- 6 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 jalapeños, minced
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp. chives
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lb. ground beef
- 12 slices bacon
- 4 Hamburger buns
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350°.
- Step 2In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, jalapeños, garlic powder, and chives. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
- Step 3Shape beef into 8 large, thin patties. Place a large dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the middle of a patty. Place another patty on top and pinch the seams together. Repeat to make 4 stuffed burgers.
- Step 4Wrap each patty with 3 slices of bacon. Season all over with pepper and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Step 5In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, add bacon-wrapped patties. Cook until the bacon is crispy, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the meat has reached your desired doneness, about 10 minutes for medium.
