PREP TIME: 20 mins COOK TIME: 20 mins TOTAL TIME:40 mins SERVINGS: 6 Sliders

INGREDIENTS  

• 4 Slices Bacon
• 2 Jalapeños Diced
• 4 Oz Cream Cheese
• 1 Lb Ground Beef 80% lean / 20% fat
• Salt
• Pepper
• 6 Slider Buns
• Wax Paper optional

INSTRUCTIONS 

• Preheat oven to 325. Put bacon on a cooking sheet & cook for about 20 min flipping half way through. (or cook on stovetop)
• Slice stems off jalapeños, cut out the cores to remove seeds. Then dice.
• Add cream cheese & diced jalapeños to a bowl. Mix with fork until blended.
• Divide burger meat in half and then divide each half into 3 to end up with 6 balls of the same size. 
• Take each ball and divide in half for the top & bottom of a burger. Shape into two thin patties that are about the size of the buns. If you have wax paper to work on it’ll help prevent sticking.
• Take a spoonful of cream cheese & jalapeño and spread onto half the patties. Crumble bacon and put on top.
• Take the other half of the patty and set it on top of the filled patty. Squeeze the edges together to form a single burger.
• Cook on grill or in pan on the stove turning once half way through. Note times will be shorter if making sliders (about 1.5min per side on the stove & maybe a few minutes per side).
