This Easy Eats dinner combines the best of two worlds: juicy burger and gooey bar appetizer. I get no arguments when I announce that we are having cheeseburgers for dinner, especially when it’s this stuffed version that tastes like jalapeño poppers. With kids coming and going, these are also easy to prepare ahead of time and cook when you need them. Not everyone likes the addition of the jalepeños, but my husband LOVES them. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!
