Originally published July 2012.
The great grilling continues with another winning combination in a stuffed burger.
This time some locally made queso fresco artisan cheese from Five Brothers Cheese takes centre stage! It gets layered with diced fresh jalopeno peppers and stuffed into extra lean ground beef flavored with garlic and even more jalopenos!
Jalapeno Queso Fresco Stuffed Burgers
This is a very flavorful burger with plenty of punch.
Plenty of crisp bacon was the only thing my inner meat-a-tarian needed to complete this burger. However, next time I’m trying it with some fresh homemade salsa as a condiment.
