Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.

In a medium bowl, mix the beef, diced green chilies, and bouillon. Shape into 4 patties.

Here is a different version I found in the Taste of Home June/July 2006 magazine. I assume the peppers are really Jalapeno Poppers, right??

Firecracker Burgers

1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup chunky salsa
4 frozen breaded cheddar cheese jalapeno peppers, thawed
1/4 cup guacamole
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
4 lettuce leaves
1/4 cup salsa con queso dip
1/4 cup sliced plum tomatoes
2 TBS sliced ripe olives
4 thin slices sweet onion

In a bowl, combine ground beef and salsa. Shape into 4 patties. Place a jalapeno in the center of each; wrap beef around jalapeno, forming a ball. Reshape into a patty.

Grill, covered, over med-hot heat for 7-8 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink. Spread guacamole over toasted side of bun tops. On each bun bottom, layer lettuce, a burger, con queso dip, tomatoes, olives and onion. Replace tops.

fatkat they do mean poppers. I have made this but using small poppers and making them into meatballs. YUM :)

I made the first recipe posted a while back and loved it. I would add a little more heat next time..just because I like it.

I will have to try fatkat's..that sounds really good. :)
