4 slices bacon

03 -
4 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

# Steps:
01 -
Combine softened cream cheese, diced jalapeños, and shredded cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl until evenly blended.
02 -
Shape ground beef into eight thin patties. Place a spoonful of the jalapeño popper filling onto the center of four patties, then top each with a second patty and press edges firmly to seal.
03 -
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and cook patties until they reach desired doneness, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
04 -
While patties cook, fry bacon slices in a separate pan until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
05 -
Lightly toast burger buns. Assemble by layering lettuce on bottom bun, then place cooked double-decker patty, top with crispy bacon, drizzle ranch dressing, and cap with top bun.
06 -
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the layered flavors and textures.
# Tips:
01 -
Seal patty edges tightly to prevent filling leakage during cooking. Adjust jalapeño quantity to manage heat level.
02 -
Use fresh ingredients for optimal flavor and serve with crisp fries or salad for a complete meal.
