    Tools

    BBQ with heat source
    Spatula
    Bowl
    Spoon
    Measuring cup
    Measuring spoon, 1 Tbl

    Ingredients

    1 lb Ground beef
    1/4 C Thick-and-chunky salsa
    4 frozen cream cheese- or Cheddar cheese-stuffed jalapeño peppers
    1/4 C Salsa con queso
    1/4 C Chopped fresh plum tomato
    2 Tbl Sliced olives

    Recipe

    Serves: 4
    Time required: Prepare: 5 minutes Cook: 25 minutes
    Difficulty: Easy


    Directions

    1. Combine ground beef and 1/4 cup salsa in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.

    2. Lightly shape into eight thin patties.

    3. Place one stuffed pepper in center of four patties.

    4. Place the other four patties on top of the peppers. Seal the seams all the way around. Patties will be about 4 to 5 inches across and 1 inch thick.

    5. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 15 to 16 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until beef is not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally. Take off heat on a clean plate.

    6. Spread 1 Tbl salsa con queso evenly over top of each burger. Sprinkle evenly with tomato and olives. Serve with salsa, as desired.


    Serve with

    A spanish rice with some corn chips and fruit.

    Potato salad, corn on the cob and cobbler with ice cream

    Have a thick ranch dip to dip this burger in.


    Variations

    *Four slices (3/4 ounce each) Mexican-style process cheese may be substituted for salsa con queso; place on top of patties 1 minute before patties are done, to allow cheese to melt.

    *Use a breaded popper, but you would need to deep fry or bake first.

    *Add a ranch dressing powder mix to the salsa, then mix it with the hamburger.

    *Use different breads and toast or grill them like sourdough.
