This jalapeno burger recipe is a spicy twist on a classic favorite. The jalapeno popper spread adds the perfect flavor and spice.

This post is a collaboration with Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner. on behalf of the Beef Checkoff. I received compensation, but all opinions are my own.

If you like even a hint of spice, you will love these jalapeno popper burgers. They have all the same flavors, just in Burger form. What could be better? I wouldn’t categorize these as spicy burgers, the jalapeno adds more flavor than spice.

What percentage of fat is best for Ground Beef?

There isn’t a right or wrong answer to this question. It’s all really about what you are making and personal preference. The higher the fat percentage, the more the Beef will cook down. Fat also contributes to the flavor of the Beef, so striking a balance between them is ideal.

These are the options you’ll see in the store:

  • 70% lean and 30% fat Ground Beef
  • 85% lean and 15% fat Ground Beef
  • 90% lean and 10% fat Ground Beef
  • For burgers, I like to use 85% or 90% Ground Beef to avoid the burgers shrinking too much.

How to Make Jalapeno Popper Burgers

Make the Spread

  1. Combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise until creamy.
  2. Slice the jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the ribs and membranes.
  3. Dice the jalapeno into small pieces, add to the spread.
  4. Add the garlic, salt, and lime juice.

Make the Burgers

  1. Divide the Ground Beef into 4 equal sections. Shape into hamburger patties.
  2. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook on the grill or stovetop until done. The internal temperature will register 160ºF on an instant read thermometer.

Are jalapenos good on burgers?

Jalapenos are good on burgers, hence this recipe! Not only are they good in this recipe, they pair well with Beef in general. This recipe has fresh jalapeno in the spread, which tastes amazing. You could also serve the burgers with pickled jalapeno or even make a simple jalapeno topping with sautéed jalapeno and onion.

Do jalapenos taste good?

Jalapenos taste good if you like a bit of spice. They have a bright, pepper taste with a mild level of spice. To taste them more and get less spice, remove the seeds and membranes (the white part) from the pepper before dicing.

Can you eat a raw jalapeno?

Yes, you can eat raw jalapeno or cooked. I used raw jalapeno in this recipe to get the full flavor and to add some texture and crunch to the jalapeno popper sauce.

Notes

Instead of salt and pepper, you can season the Burgers with your favorite Beef seasoning. 
The jalapeno spread will have a medium spice as written. Use 1 jalapeno for mild spice and more for an intense spice.
