Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Poblano Cheese Mixture
- 4 poblano peppers
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced chives
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Burgers
- 6 pre-formed beef burger patties (or 2 lbs ground beef divided into 6 patties)
- Burger seasoning of choice
Buns
- 6 brioche buns, toasted
Instructions
Prepare Poblano Mixture
- Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under the broiler until charred all over.
- Place roasted peppers in a bowl and cover to steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skins, remove seeds, and chop finely.
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Fold in chopped roasted poblanos until evenly distributed. Set aside.
Cook Burgers
- Season the beef patties generously with your favorite burger seasoning.
- Grill or cook patties on a skillet over medium-high heat until desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium.
- In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a generous spoonful of the poblano cheese mixture and cover to melt slightly.
Assemble Burgers
- Toast brioche buns lightly on the grill or in a skillet.
- Place each cheesy poblano-topped patty on a toasted bun and serve immediately.
- Add lettuce, tomato, or bacon if desired for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Roasting the poblanos enhances their flavor and makes them easier to peel.
- Use gloves when handling roasted peppers if you’re sensitive to spice.
- Make the poblano cheese filling a day ahead for even more flavor.
- Try adding crispy bacon or caramelized onions for extra indulgence.
