salsa - Dennis Food Service https://dennisfoodservice.com New England's Largest Independent Distributor Tue, 12 Sep 2023 19:55:11 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.4 Cheesy Jalapeño Burgers https://dennisfoodservice.com/cheesy-jalapeno-burgers/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cheesy-jalapeno-burgers Mon, 15 May 2023 16:58:31 +0000 https://dennisfoodservice.com/?p=2393887 The “turducken” of cheeseburgers awaits your specials board, and adventurous customers.

This recipe is sure to get mouths watering. A jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese, stuffed into a burger, and grilled to perfection. Not adventurous enough? Smother with a spicy cheese sauce.

Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
  • 1/4 cup prepared thick-and-chunky salsa
  • 4 frozen cream cheese or Cheddar cheese-stuffed jalapeño peppers
  • 1/4 cup prepared salsa con queso
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh plum tomato
  • 2 tablespoons sliced pitted ripe olives
Garnish:
  • Prepared thick-and-chunky salsa (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine Ground Beef and 1/4 cup salsa in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four thin patties. Place one stuffed pepper in center of each patty; wrap beef around pepper to enclose, sealing seams and forming ball. Flatten balls into patties about 4 to 5 inches across and 1 inch thick.
  2. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 15 to 16 minutes, until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon salsa con queso evenly over top of each burger. Sprinkle evenly with tomato and olives. Serve with salsa, as desired.

Cook’s Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
