Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1:17)

Popper Beef Burgers

1 pound lean ground beef
¼ cup prepared thick-and-chunky salsa
4 frozen cream cheese-stuffed jalapeno peppers
¼ cup prepared chili con queso
¼ cup chopped fresh plum tomato
2 T. sliced pitted ripe olives
4 hamburger buns

---

Combine ground beef and ¼ 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" across and 1" thick. Place patties on grill over medium ash-covered coals. Grill covered, 15 to 16 minutes to 165°F internal temperature, turning occasionally. Spread 1 T. chili con queso evenly over top of each burger. Sprinkle with tomato and olives and serve on hamburger buns with additional salsa as desired. Serves 4.
