Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 10 oz. ground chorizo
- 1 packet (1 oz.) Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix
- 4 oz. cheddar cheese, cut into 6 cubes
- 6 slices pepper jack cheese
- 6 burger buns
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked
- 2 jalapeños, sliced
Directions
- Spray the grill with cooking spray, then preheat to medium-high
- Cook bacon to your liking and set aside
- Place the ground beef and chorizo in a large bowl. Add the taco seasoning and mix with your hands until just evenly combined
- Divide the meat into 6 equal balls
- Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the middle of each ball
- Use your hands to encase the meat around the cheese. Pat until you have covered the cheese completely and have formed a burger patty
- Place the patties on the grill, close the grill and cook undisturbed (do not press down on the patties) until grill marks appear on the bottom, about 3 to 4 minutes
- Using a spatula, flip the patties and close the grill again, and cook until the grill marks appear on the second side and the patties are cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more
- During the last minute of grilling add a slice of pepper jack cheese to each patty
- Place a patty on each bun bottom top with bacon and jalapeños. Add top bun and serve immediately.
