Jalapeno Popper Burgers

We've taken a simple burger recipe and made it pop with an easy three-ingredient jalapeño cheese topping. Ground sirloin is lean ground beef made exclusively from the center loin cut. It has less connective tissue than regular ground beef for a super-tender burger.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup shredded spicy cheese, such as chipotle cheddar or pepper jack (see tip)
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
  • ¼ cup ketchup
