Jim's Burgers image

This was a specialty of my Grandfather's. I've loved them my whole life, and now my husband and son love them, too. For extra kick, use Pepper Jack instead of plain Monterey Jack cheese. Prep and cooking times are estimates, since I don't time myself and cooking time depends on desired doneness. Time doesn't include heating grill.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 slices French bread
olive oil flavored cooking spray
1 lb extra lean ground beef (I use 88% lean for this recipe)
salt & pepper
4 slices monterey jack cheese, cut to fit bread slices
1 (7 ounce) can whole mild green chilies, drained and cut into wide strips

Steps:

  • If necessary, start coals heating (if using), start grill, or preheat broiler.
  • Spritz bread slices with olive oil on each side.
  • Shape beef into oblong patties to fit the bread slices. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill or broil patties until cooked to taste, about 12-15 minutes for medium well (depending on heat source).
  • Meanwhile, broil or toast bread slices, turning once, until golden on both sides.
  • Top patties with cheese slices and grill or broil a few seconds longer, until cheese barely starts to melt.
  • Place patties on toasted bread, top with chili strips, and serve.
  • Enjoy!
