This recipe was a finalist in the 1999 National Beef Cookoff. Start the 'fireworks' early on the Fourth of July with these tasty burgers! Recipe courtesy of . 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 tablespoons sliced pitted ripe olives |
4 hamburger buns |
Directions:
1. Combine ground beef and 1/4 cup salsa in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.

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