INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 can (7.5 oz.) Juanita’s Hot & Spicy Nacho Cheese Sauce
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, cut into pieces
  • 1 lb. ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/2 lb. ground sausage or chorizo
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 8 burger buns
  • 16 strips of bacon
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 can (4 oz.) diced green chilies

STEP BY STEP:

  1. Microwave cream cheese and Juanita’s Spicy Cheese sauce until just melted. Mix and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Mix ground beef, ground sausage or chorizo, and spices. Divide into 16 portions and shape into balls.
  3. Cook bacon in a sauté pan and set aside. Use the bacon grease to sauté onions until translucent, then set aside.
  4. Mix mayo, green chilies, and sautéed onions in a bowl. Shape cooled cheese mixture into eight balls. Make a divot in the center of eight meatballs and stuff with a cheese ball. Cover with another meatball, forming a patty. Grill on medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side.
  5. Serve on burger buns topped with the onion mixture.
