1 pound ground round
\n1\/4 cup prepared thick and chunky salsa
\n4 frozen cream cheese or Cheddar cheese-stuffed jalapeno peppers
\n1\/4 cup prepared salsa con queso
\n1\/4 cup chopped fresh plum tomato
\n2 tablespoons sliced pitted ripe olives
\nPrepared thick and chunky salsa<\/p>\n
Combine ground beef and 1\/4 cup salsa in a large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four thin patties. Place one stuffed pepper in center of each patty; wrap beef around pepper to enclose,sealing seams and forming ball. Flatten balls into patties about 4 to 5 inches across and 1 inch thick.<\/p>\n
Place patties on grid over medium,ash covered coals. Grill,covered,15-16 minutes to medium (160 degrees F)doneness, until beef is not pink in center and juices show no pink color,turning occasionally.<\/p>\n
Spread 1 tablespoon salsa con queso evenly over top of each burger. Sprinkle evenly with tomato and olives. Serve with salsa, as desired.<\/p>\n
Cook’s Tip: Four slices (3\/4 ounce each) Mexican-style process cheese slices may be substituted for salsa con queso; place on top of patties 1 minute before patties are done,to allow cheese to melt. Popper burgers may also be served in hamburger buns for a hand held sandwich.
\nTotal preparation and cooking time:30 minutes
\nServes: 4<\/p>\n
