Worthy of a Special Occasion

Yield: Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2  pounds  lean ground beef
  • 1/2  cup  finely chopped onion
  • 1  (4.25-ounce) can chopped ripe olives, drained
  • 2  tablespoons  ketchup
  • 1  teaspoon  chili powder
  • 1  teaspoon  fajita seasoning
  • 6  (1-ounce) slices Monterey Jack cheese with peppers
  • 6  onion rolls, split and toasted
  • Tex-Mex Secret Sauce
  • Toppings: shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, guacamole

Preparation

Combine first 6 ingredients. Shape mixture into 12 (4-inch) patties. Fold cheese slices into quarters; place cheese on each of 6 patties. Top with remaining 6 patties, pressing to seal edges.

Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until done. Serve on rolls with Tex-Mex Secret Sauce and desired toppings.

Note: For testing purposes only, we used McCormick Fajita Seasoning and Sargento Monterey Jack Cheese With Peppers.
