Popper Beef Burgers are a delicious twist on the classic burger, featuring a stuffing of creamy, spicy jalapeno peppers and a topping of chile con queso, fresh tomatoes, and olives. These burgers are perfect for a summer cookout or a quick and easy weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to add some spice and flavor to your traditional beef burger.

Instructions

1.	Combine ground beef and salsa in a medium bowl, then divide mixture into 8 equal portions.
2.	Flatten each portion with your hands and place a cream cheese-stuffed jalapeno pepper in the center of 4 of the portions.
3.	Cover each stuffed portion with one of the remaining 4 portions of ground beef and press the edges to seal the two portions together, making 4 stuffed burgers in total.
4.	Grill burgers over medium-high heat or broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
5.	Combine chile con queso, chopped tomato, and sliced olives in a small bowl.
6.	Place 1 burger on each of the buns, then spoon the queso mixture over the top of the burger.
7.	Serve immediately and enjoy!
