Print Recipe

Smoky bacon, spicy jalapeños, and juicy beef patties come together in this bold and flavorful burger recipe perfect for grilling season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 4–6 fresh jalapeños, sliced and deseeded
  • 8–12 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 4–6 burger buns, toasted
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, condiments

Instructions

  1. Wash, slice, and deseed the jalapeños. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands.
  3. Divide the beef mixture into equal portions (about 6-8 depending on size). Flatten each portion, add a pinch of shredded cheddar cheese to the center, and fold the meat around it to create a stuffed patty.
  4. Take 1-2 slices of bacon per patty and wrap them around, securing the ends with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high (about 375°F/190°C).
  6. Place the bacon-wrapped patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. Flip carefully to avoid losing the bacon wrapping.
  7. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  8. During the last minute of grilling, place the burger buns on the grill to lightly toast.
  9. Add your desired toppings and condiments, and serve hot.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the cheese stuffing for a gooey center.’, ‘Use toothpicks to keep the bacon securely wrapped while grilling.’, ‘Monitor grill temperature to avoid burning the bacon.’, ‘Flip carefully using tongs to prevent unraveling the bacon.’, ‘Experiment with toppings like avocado slices, grilled onions, or spicy mayo.’]
