Ingredients
  

For the burger
  • 1 lb ground beef Use high-quality ground beef for best flavor.
  • 4 jalapeños, sliced Remove seeds for a milder flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Fireball Whiskey Adds a unique sweetness to the burger.
  • 4 burger buns Toast for best flavor.
  • 4 oz cream cheese Melt for the drizzle.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust seasoning according to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with Fireball whiskey, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
  3. Shape the beef mixture into four equal patties and set aside.
Grilling
  1. Grill jalapeño slices for about 2-3 minutes until they become slightly charred, then set them aside on a plate.
  2. Place the burger patties on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish. Adjust timing to your preferred doneness.
  3. While the burgers cook, toast the burger buns on the grill until golden brown.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt the cream cheese over low heat. Stir until it reaches a smooth, drizzling consistency.
Assembly
  1. Once the burgers are cooked, start assembling: Spoon some cream cheese on the bottom bun, add the burger patty, topped with the grilled jalapeños and another drizzle of cream cheese. Finally, cap with the top bun.
Serving
  1. Serve hot and enjoy every delicious bite!

Notes

For a milder burger, use less jalapeño or remove the seeds. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Avoid reheating the cream cheese drizzle for best quality.
