Serves: 4
Ingredients
Warm-Tomato Relish
- 1 (14 1/2ounce) can diced tomatoes, no-salt added, drained
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Chile Cheeseburgers
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced mild green chilies, drained
- 1⁄2 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
- 1⁄4 cup canned sliced black olives, drained
- 1 1⁄2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 lettuce leaves (optional)
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
Directions
- For Warm-Tomato Relish:.
- Combine the tomatoes, sugar, cornstarch and cumin in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from the heat; stir in the vinegar. Keep warm.
- For Chile Cheeseburgers:.
- Combine the chiles, cheese and olives in a small bowl; set aside.
- Combine the beef, salt and pepper in a separate bowl, mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape beef into 8 (4-inch) thick patties. Place 1/4 cup of the chile-cheese mixture in the center of 4 of the patties. Place one of the remaining patties on top of the mixture-topped patties. Press the edges tightly together to seal.
- Grill the patties over medium-hot coals for 8 to 10 minutes or until the burgers are cooked to the desired doneness, turning once. The internal temperature of the patties should be 160°F Place one burger on each of four lettuce-lined, bun halves, if desired.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the warm-tomato relish mixture on each burger; top with remaining bun halves and serve.
