I was so excited for my assignment this month. I was given The Lady Behind The Curtain. I had been following her blog for a little while and she always has such great ideas and recipes. You should check her out!
After a long decision, I finally decided to do my version of her Jalapeno Popper Burgers, delicious looking in their own right, but hubby doesn't like cream cheese. I went with a different cheese for the filling and the results were yummy.
Ingredients:
Burger:
1 lb ground chicken ( you could use 100% ground chicken breast to lighten it up some more)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
1 tsp garlic pepper grinder seasoning
Filling:
4 tsp diced jalapenos, jarred with juice
1/2 cup shredded Colby and Monterrey jack cheese
Coating:
33g (or 3 servings) shake and bake coating (optional)
Preheat oven 400.
Mix Burger ingredients together, combining well.
Mix the filling ingredients in a small bowl, mixing well, breaking cheese in to small pieces, until it begins to stick together.
Measure burger mixture in to 5-6 equal size portions; do the same with the filling. Make flat patties out of the burger mixture and spoon one serving of the filling in to the center of each. **if the burgers don't see to want to close around the cheese, set aside some of the filling. you can place it on top of the burger when you bake it**Wrap meat around cheese and pepper until well sealed. Set aside. On a plate or something :) spread out the coating and coat each side of each burger. Place each burger on a baking sheet, sprayed with pan spray and bake at 400 for 20 minutes, turning halfway. Serve and enjoy :)
Makes 5 burger @ 5 PPV each
Makes 6 burgers @ 4 PPV each
Okay.
ReplyDeletea) How does he not like cream cheese?!
and
b) They look awesome. I would totally eat my weight in them! And I don't even like jalapenos that much!
These would make a yummy burger and I agree, The Lady Behind the Curtain has some wonderful posts!

I can't imagine not liking cream cheese but, the gooey melty cheese looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing a lot of buzz around the Secret Recipe Club.... what a great and fun idea! Love your choice of recipe.... I'm bookmarking this to try. Will definitely use the ground chicken breast. Great low WW Pt dinner idea.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds delicious and the Colby & Jack are great sounding too in place of the cream cheese.
