These jalapeño burgers with gorgonzola are the perfect mix of spicy, juicy, and creamy. Fresh jalapeños bring the heat, while crumbled gorgonzola cheese melts into the patty for a rich, tangy bite. Grill them up for an epic burger night that’s anything but ordinary.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Burgers:

  • 1½ pounds ground beef (80/20)

  • 2 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese

For Serving:

  • 4 burger buns, toasted

  • Lettuce or arugula

  • Tomato slices

  • Red onion slices

  • Additional crumbled gorgonzola (optional)

  • Your favorite burger sauce or mayo

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

  2. Make the burger mix: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped jalapeños, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Gently mix in the crumbled gorgonzola. Don’t overmix.

  3. Form patties: Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, pressing a slight indent in the center of each to help them cook evenly.

  4. Grill the burgers: Place patties on the hot grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. (Internal temp should be 160°F for well-done.)

  5. Toast the buns: During the last minute of grilling, place the buns cut-side down on the grill to toast.

  6. Assemble the burgers: Add lettuce, tomato, onion, and any extra gorgonzola. Spread with burger sauce or mayo, top with the patty, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Like it extra spicy? Leave the seeds in the jalapeños or add a few slices on top.

  • Swap gorgonzola for blue cheese if that’s what you have on hand.

  • These burgers work great on a grill, griddle, or stovetop cast iron skillet.
