STUFFED BOLD BURGER – BY KATE STUART

INGREDIENTS
3 Pounds Ground Beef
1 ½ Cups Tony Chachere's^® Burger Marinade
2 Tablespoons Tony Chachere's^® BOLD Creole Seasoning
1-8 Ounce Block of Cream Cheese, Softened
1 Tablespoon Tony Chachere's^® BOLD Creole Seasoning
1 Jalapeno, Seeded and Finely Diced

PREPARATION
Prep Time: 45 Minutes
Cook Time: 14-16 Minutes                                                 
Makes: 8 Burgers

1. Preheat grill.
2. In a bowl, combine ground beef, Tony Chachere's^® Burger Marinade and 2 Tbsp. Tony Chachere's^® BOLD Creole Seasoning. Measure ½ cup portions of beef, shape into patties and chill in the refrigerator.
3. Meanwhile, make the cream cheese mix by combining softened cream cheese with jalapenos and 1 Tbsp. Tony Chachere's^® BOLD Creole Seasoning.
4. Spoon cream cheese mix onto center of parchment or wax paper. Starting with the paper edge closest to you, carefully fold it over the cream cheese and using your hands, form into a log and twist the ends. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
5. Remove patties from fridge and the cream cheese mix from freezer.
6. Slice cream cheese into ½-inch rounds, remove paper and place in the center of half of the patties. Top with the other patty and pinch edges to seal in the filling.
7. Grill burgers over medium heat, about 7-8 minutes per side (or until cooked through), and internal temperature registers 160-degrees on thermometer.
8. Serve burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.

NOTE: Feel free to swap out the cream cheese for your favorite cheese. The key is to place it in the freezer to firm up a bit. This prevents the filling from completely melting and oozing out while cooking.
