Jim's Burgers
"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."

This is great with the green chilies and the monterey jack. I use a lot of green diced chilies and pepper jack cheese especially on tator tots with eggs. I added a little minced garlic on the french bread before broiling. I tweek too, that is the fun in cooking--creating!I will make again and probably add A-1 sauce a little to the burger before grilling. You have a good recipe!
