Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup rolled oats
• 6 slices bacon
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 8 hamburger buns, split
• 2 cups seeded and chopped jalapeno peppers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble into small pieces.

Step 3

Mix cream cheese, jalapeno peppers, and salt together in a bowl. Stir in bacon.

Step 4

Mix ground beef and oats together in a bowl. Divide into 16 portions; flatten into 1/4-inch-thick patties. Make an indentation in the center of 8 patties using a spoon or your fingers. Spoon some of the cream cheese mixture into each indentation. Top with the remaining patties, pressing edges together to seal.

Step 5

Grill patties, taking care not to press down as they cook, until browned, about 10 minutes per side. Place 1 patty inside each bun.
