Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 Richwood Meat burger patties
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 2 jalapeños sliced
  • For the Jalapeño Popper Spread
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer to paper towels and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly combined.
  3. Preheat a grill or skillet/griddle over medium-high heat.
  4. Season the burger patties lightly with salt and black pepper.
  5. Cook the patties until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness, turning once or as needed. Cook time may vary depending on patty thickness, cooking method, and whether cooking from frozen.
  6. Avoid pressing down on the patties while they cook, as this can squeeze out flavorful juices.
  7. Lightly toast the brioche buns until warm and lightly crisp. Toasting helps the buns hold up better and adds texture.
  8. Let the patties rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
  9. Spread the jalapeño popper mixture on the toasted buns.
  10. Assemble the burgers with the patty on the bottom bun, then top with crispy bacon and sliced jalapeños. Add the top bun and serve right away.
