    Directions

    1. Make Corn Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallot and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add whipping cream and cream cheese. Stir until cream cheese is melted. Gradually add cheddar cheese, stirring until melted. Add sweet corn, bacon, and jalapeno pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with Hy-Vee salt and Hy-Vee black pepper. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

    2. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill with a lightly greased grill rack for direct cooking over medium heat.

    3. In a large bowl, combine beef, green onions, Worcestershire sauce and garlic paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties, 8 ounces each.

    4. Grill for 12 to 14 minutes or until internal temperature of patties reaches 160 degrees, turning once halfway through. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place buns, cut sides down, directly over heat to toast. Remove from grill; let patties rest 5 minutes.
    5. To serve, place patties on bun bottoms; top with Corn Cheese Sauce. If desired, add lettuce, tomato, and/or red onion. Add bun tops.
