Ingredients

6 jalapeno peppers

4 ounces cream cheese room temperature

1 1/2 pound ground beef

salt and pepper to taste

8 strips bacon

4 slices cheddar cheese

Roasted Jalapeno Mayo:

2 jalapeno peppers

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 glove garlic

1 green onion

1 handful cilantro

1 lime juice and zest


Directions

Grill the jalapenos over medium-high heat until charred all over, about 6-8 minutes. Place the peppers in a zip-lock bag or other sealable container, seal and let them cool until you can handle them, about 20 minutes. Pinch the skins off of the peppers, cut in half and remove the seeds. Dice 2 of the jalapeno peppers and mix into the cream cheese. Divide the beef into 8 equal portions, form into patties, place 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture on 4 of them, top with the free patties, pinch the sides closed to seal and form into patties again. Season the patties with salt and pepper to taste and wrap each with 2 strips of bacon. Brush the grill with oil and grill the burgers over medium-high heat until cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side, topping each patty with a slice of cheese after flipping. Assemble the burgers. Eat. Roasted Jalapeno Mayo: Mayonnaise flavoured with spicy roasted jalapenos and lime. Place the peppers on a baking sheet with the cut side facing down. Place the baking sheet on the top shelf in the oven and broil until the outer layer of the skin has blackened, about 8-14 minutes. Place the peppers in a zip-lock bag or other sealable container, seal and let them cool until you can handle them, about 20 minutes. Remove the skins from the peppers. The skins should easily "pinch" off. Puree everything. Makes 1/2 cup
