Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine ground beef and ¼ cup salsa in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four thin patties.

2. 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.

3. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 15 to 16 minutes to medium (160℉) doneness, until beef is not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally.

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