Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, minced
5 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup pickled jalapeño pepper slices, divided
1 egg
1½ lb lean ground beef
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Garlic Base
3 Tbsp garlic butter, softened
6 burger buns, split
6 leaves lettuce
6 slices tomato
6 oz brick-style herbed cream cheese, softened

Directions

  • 1

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grates well.

  • 2

    In medium skillet set over medium heat, add oil. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until soft and fragrant.

  • 3

    Set aside 1/2 cup jalapeños. Chop remaining 1/4 cup jalapeños.

  • 4

    In medium bowl, stir together chopped jalapeños, onion mixture, egg, ground beef, breadcrumbs and Roasted Garlic Base until combined. Divide mixture into 6 portions and shape into 1/2-inch-thick patties.

  • 5

    Reduce grill heat to medium-low. Grill patties, turning once, for 7 to 8 minutes or until well-marked, cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F when inserted into thickest part of a burger.

  • 6

    Meanwhile, spread garlic butter on burger buns and grill for 30 to 60 seconds or until lightly toasted.

  • 7

    Serve burgers in toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, cream cheese and reserved jalapeños.
