from the kitchen of Elizabeth Edelman, www.diabetesdaily.com

1 lb. ground sirloin

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 tsp. Kosher salt

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

6 oz. whipped cream cheese

4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

Lettuce, for wrapping

Any condiments you may want

Heat grill over medium heat. While the grill is heating, combine cream cheese and chopped jalapenos in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine ground sirloin, egg, Kosher salt and black pepper. Form eight 1/4-inch thick patties. Spoon the cream cheese and jalapeno mixture onto half of the patties. Place the other patties on top of the cream cheese and press to seal them shut.

Grill the burgers over medium heat for about 6-10 minutes per side, or until cooked to desired temperature.

When the burgers are done, remove from the grill and wrap in the lettuce leaves. Serves 4.
