Ingredients

  • BURGERS:
  • 2 pounds ground beef or turkey
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 12 - 1/4-inch thick slices pepperjack cheese
  • 1 can diced green chiles
  • MARINADE:
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (i use lachoy or sanj)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil (or walnut, grapeseed, or olive)

How To Make jack stuffed burgers

  • Step 1
    Work black pepper into meat till evenly distributed, then divide into 6 mounds. Divide each of those 6 into 2 patties.
  • Step 2
    If using prepackaged slices of cheese, fold each slice in half and use each doubled-up slice as one piece. Mentally divide the can of chiles into 6. Take two slices and make an "X." Sandwich 1/6th of the chiles between slices at the center of each X.
  • Step 3
    Take 2 patties and sandwich the cheese X between. Pinch down the edges to enclose the cheese within the meat. Yes, these burgers are going to be thick! Gently smash each burger to make sure it's all together.
  • Step 4
    Place burgers in a single layer in a dish or pan. Combine all ingredients for marinade; pour over top of burgers. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Step 5
    Carefully lift the burgers onto a medium heat grill. Baste with excess marinade. If using turkey, cook to 165 degrees. If using beef, you may cook to desired doneness, but I highly recommend med-well to well to ensure that the cheese inside gets nice and melty.
  • Step 6
    Important: let burgers cool 5-10 minutes! Cheese inside will be quite hot! Enjoy this juicy burger with your favorite burger toppings.
