TIPS:

• The smooth filling requires the cream cheese to be softened at a normal surrounding temperature.
• Seal the edges carefully; otherwise, the filling may leak out while cooking.
• You can also use bacon slices on top to give a crispy garnish.
• Jalapenos might burn your hands if you handle them with your bare hands. use gloves while handling the jalapenos.

• Pack the cooked leftover burgers in a container with a lid(airtight). Refrigerate them for ~4 days & enjoy whenever you want.

• Pack each patty using the paper(parchment)/cling wrap. Shift all of them to a bag(freezer-safe). Now, they are ready to freeze for ~90 days. Defrost, reheat & enjoy whenever you want.

REHEATING:

• Re-warm the defrosted/refrigerated patties using the skillet over a normal flame or run them in the microwave for ~two minutes. Give them a fresh touch by garnishing them with fresh cheese/jalapenos.

FAQs:

May I use meat other than beef?

• Absolutely! Chicken & turkey also work well. You may use any of them, too, for a leaner option. We have opted for beef as beef with 20 % fat & 80 % meat will offer you the more juicy flavor.

What are the serving options for this burger?

• Lettuce wraps, keto coleslaw, keto buns, zucchini fries, etc., will pair well with these delicious stuffed burgers.

How spicy are these burgers?

• They have a normal spice level. It depends on the jalapenos’ quality & amount. Don’t remove its seeds if you like spicy.
