Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) ground beef, ground
• 1 4 Ounces (oz) can diced green chiles, drained
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) beef bouillon granules
• 4 Slices Monterey Jack cheese
• 4 Whole hamburger buns
• 1 Medium red onion, sliced
• 1 Large tomato, sliced
• 1 Bunch fresh lettuce leaves
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) mayonnaise
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) ketchup
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 1 Pinch kosher salt, to taste

Steps

1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, drained green chiles, beef bouillon granules, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and kosher salt. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
3. Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to ensure even cooking.
4. Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
5. Add the Cheese: About 2 minutes before the patties are done, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each patty. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
6. Prepare the Buns: While the patties are grilling, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion on top. Add the grilled patty with melted cheese, then top with the other half of the bun.
8. Serve: Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a fresh salad. Enjoy the spicy, cheesy goodness!
