Every time we go to the Hamptons with friends this is what my friends request this jalapeno popper burger! It makes me smile all the times we sat on the sun soaked deck, gooey sharp cheese dripping down, and laughing so hard from pure beef joy! I love love love how happy comfort food gives my friends love and happiness! We all deserve a moment of bliss and to celebrate us! This burger has big beefy flavor stuffed with spicy crunchy cream big smiles.
Here is my new crazy burger recipe (a super simple combo). Combining my two faves, crunchy and spicy jalapeño poppers and juicy mouth watering burgers seemed like a match made in heaven. The challenge was how to make it easy, but bursting with ooey gooey flavor. I am excited to share this with you. There are some surprise toppings you will learn on the video inspired by Bobby’s Burger Palace.
