Serves: 12 sliders
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, diced
  • 6 ounces cream cheese
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12 small slider buns, grilled
  • lettuce, chopped to slider size
  • tomato, sliced
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, jalapeño and red pepper flakes until combined. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together ground beef, onion, salt, and pepper.
  3. Divide ground beef mixture into 12 pieces. Divide each piece in half. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture onto 6 of the halves. Top with remaining halves. Press edges of beef to seal and form a burger. Repeat with remaining beef.
  4. To bake, heat the over to 450 degrees and bake for 5-6. These also can be grilled.
  5. Once cooked, top each burger with a slice of cheese and cover for a minute, or until cheese is melted.
  6. If you want to toast the buns, lightly butter the cut sides of the buns and toast them on a skillet until sides start to turn golden brown while the burgers finish cooking.
  7. Place burgers on toasted pretzel buns and top with sliced tomato, grilled jalapeño, sliced onion and all condiments of your choice. Serve hot.
