Ingredients
1lb.ground beef
1t.worcestershire
1/2t.garlic powder
1/2t.pepper
4jalapeñossliced lengthwise and flattened, seeds and membranes removed
4slicesbacon
2slicesmozzarella cheese
2oz.cream cheese
2buns
foil for grilling
Instructions
Form the ground beef into two thick patties with a dimple in the center. Sprinkle lightly with worcestershire, garlic powder, and pepper. Let the patties rest while the grill heats.
Heat one side of the grill on high and the other on low to create two cooking zones.
Place the jalapeno halves cut side down over the high-heat zone until charred. Flip to char the other side, then move to the low-heat zone.
Lay a sheet of foil over the low-heat zone and arrange bacon on foil to cook, flipping halfway through.
Grill the burgers over high heat for 2 minutes on each side, then transfer to the low-heat zone. Cook the burgers another 4-6 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness. In the last minute, lay a slice of mozzarella on each to melt.
Smear cream cheese on both sides of the buns. Set the burgers on the bottom and top with bacon and jalapenos. Devour immediately.
Notes
Handle the burger meat as little as possible to keep all those good juices in there!
