Ingredients

• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 1/4 cup prepared thick-and-chunky salsa
• 4 frozen cream cheese-stuffed jalapeno peppers
• 1/4 cup prepared chile con queso
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh plum tomato
• 2 Tbsp. sliced pitted ripe olives
• 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

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

Divide beef mixture into 4 equal portions and lightly flatten into thin patties. Place one stuffed pepper in center of each patty. Wrap the beef around the pepper to enclose, sealing seams and forming a ball. Flatten balls into patties about 4-5 inches across and 1 inch thick.

Place patties on grill over medium ash-covered coals. Grill covered, 15-16 minutes to 165°F internal temperature, turning occasionally.

Spread 1 Tbsp. chile con queso evenly over top of each burger. Sprinkle with tomato and olives and serve on hamburger buns with additional salsa as desired.

Tips from Our Cook

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