Ingredients
for the burger patties
- 500 g (1lb) beef mince/ground beef
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
for the jalapeño poppers
- 4 fresh jalapeños halved and seeds removed
- 100 g (3oz) mature cheddar grated
- 100 g (3oz) mozzarella cheese grated
- 8 strips streaky bacon
- 2 cups grated cheese (or cheese slices)
for the bacon
- 4 sesame seed buns halved and toasted
- mayonnaise
- shredded lettuce
Instructions
- To make the poppers, pre-heat the oven to 200°C/390°F and line a baking tray with baking paper/foil.
- Halve the jalapeños and remove the seeds.
- Stuff with the grated cheese then wrap with strips of bacon.
- Place onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet then place in the oven. Allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until the bacon is crisp and golden and the cheese is melted.
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, beaten egg and seasonings. Mix well then form into burgers.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil then add the burgers.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes (depending on thickness) per side until a good crust has formed. Flip then top with cheese and place a lid on the pan to allow the cheese to melt.
- Once the patties and poppers are cooked, toast the buns then build the burgers.
- Add a generous smear of mayonnaise to the buns then add shredded lettuce and the burger patties.
- Top with the jalapeño poppers and sandwich with the tops of the buns.
- Serve immediately.
