There are many things that excite me about Summer time- sunshine, homemade lemonade, sleeping in on the weekends, laying out at the pool, and taking my little one on local adventures. It marks the beginning of a few relaxing months before the new school year starts. Reality kicks back in next month and I am enjoying this short yet sweet break as much as I possibly can. But there is also one tradition that kicks off this time of year and that’s grilling season! What would Summer be without a big juicy cheeseburger in hand? Grilling is second nature in our home and if there is one thing we all agree on it’s nothing says Summer like a homemade burger with the works.

Everyone loves a good burger but sometimes the classic toppings can get a bit boring. A slab of cheese. A squirt of ketchup. Ring of onion. A lifeless bun. Yeah it all tastes good compiled together but what about adding a little kick in there? I enjoy spicy food and there is one thing I absolutely love adding to my burgers, crispy breaded jalapeño slices. Now take that idea and add some pepper jelly, cream cheese, creamy ranch dressing, and cheddar cheese on a juicy patty. I am about to introduce you to my ultimate burger, the Spicy Jalapeño Popper and Pepper Jelly cheeseburger. Brace yourself. This could get HOT but I promise it’s incredibly delicious with the help of Kraft Foods!

 Sweet + Savory Jalapeño Popper Cheeseburger
#SayCheeseburger #CollectiveBias
 

Ingredients:

  •  1 lb. ground beef (seasoned to your liking)
  • Kaiser rolls
  • 2 onions
  • 4 eggs
  • flour
  • Bread crumbs
  • 4 jalapeños  
  • 1 head of lettuce
  • Kraft Big Slice Mild Cheddar
  • Kraft Cucumber Ranch Dressing
  • Kraft Mayo
  • Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese
  • Pepper jelly


Instructions:

  1. Cut jalapeños into coin like slices and remove seeds. Stuff centers of the slices with cream cheese. Whisk 2 eggs to create egg wash. Dip slices in and drench with bread crumbs. Fry slices in medium pan with small amount of oil.
  2. Whisk remaining 2 eggs, cut onions into thin slices and dip into egg wash before covering with flour. Fry.

  3. Divide ground beef into patties, seasoning meat to your liking. Place on grill and add slices of Kraft cheese when burgers are ready to be removed.

  4. Add Kraft Mayo and crisp lettuce to bottom bun. Spread a layer of pepper jelly on top bun along with Kraft Cucumber Ranch dressing.
  5. Add a heap of crispy onion strings and fried jalapeño popper slices on top of burger.

I took votes after this meal and this was by far one of the most incredible cheeseburgers I have ever made! The pepper jelly adds a hint of sweetness while the jalapeño slices bring the right amount of heat. The Cucumber Ranch dressing fuses all the flavors together while cooling down the spice. Even though I haven’t always been very adventurous when it comes to the burger, this was by far a tantalizing experience for my taste buds. Everything you need to make this Jalapeño Popper Cheeseburger can be found at your local Walmart. I was able to pick up all of my ingredients in one trip. This is why I love Walmart, my one stop shop!

What’s your idea of a perfect burger?

  1. Oh my!! This looks like the most awesome guy meal…lol. Will definitely have to put this one on the FOOD board for the upcoming football season.

  2. oh, girl, that looks soooo good! I'll be real with you–I don't eat beef–but my family does. I would make this whole thing over with beef for them and chicken/veggies for me. I love all the different elements to this dish and how affordable it is. Must make those Jalapeno poppers asap! This would be a great meal for a birthday cookout kinda somethin'-somethin. Love it. Pinned it.

  4. Thanks girly! My best friend doesn't eat meat either. She is full blow vegetarian. I was thinking of making this for her with a veggie burger or bean burger! I think it would still be pretty yummy with the flavor combos. Plus the fried jalapeno slices stuffed with cream cheese are SO good dipped in the cucumber ranch dressing. Perfect snack food or appetizer.

  6. Thank-you, we will take 4 of those please! I would love to try that, and we also love to put mayo on hamburgers here, and my son adds ketchup to that mix as well!

  10. I do love a little spice to my food. Considering that my mouth is watering at the picture….I think I'm going to have to make these soon!

  11. This looks so good! I didn't even know about this cucumber ranch dressing. I may have to add it to my next burger!

  12. I have a few boys who would like this. I'm not much for spicy, but it would be great for them! Thanks for sharing.

  18. Okay, you just stole my heart. This is pretty much the best burger I've ever seen. Wow, just wow! Will definitely be serving this up!

  22. I'm so pretty positive this is the perfect burger to make for my father-in-law the next time he's over to visit! It sure photos up pretty! 🙂

  25. Oh that just looks absolutely heavenly! Not so much my stomach could handle it (gallbladder!) but my husband would die for this!

  30. I think you pretty much summed up my perfect burger…WOW! That looks amazing, you did a really good job with this recipe.

  34. YUMMY! This looks like a delish burger and I love my jalapeno's. But my favorite way to enjoy a burger is with amercian cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, spinach, and a onion ring.
