Begin by slicing the jalapeños in half lengthwise and carefully removing the seeds to control the heat. Finely dice the jalapeño halves and set them aside.

In a small mixing bowl, blend together the cream cheese, half of the diced jalapeños, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef along with the remaining diced jalapeños, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Combine gently.

Divide the beef mixture into six equal parts and shape them into thin patties, ensuring three are larger to accommodate the filling.

Spoon the cream cheese filling into the center of three patties and seal with the remaining patties.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the stuffed patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Optionally, add sliced cheese on top during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt it evenly.

Remove the burgers from the skillet, let rest for a minute, then assemble on buns with lettuce, tomato, and condiments.
