Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 oz grated or thinly sliced cheddar cheese.

2 drained, seeded and minced or thinly sliced Jalapeños chilies

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Note: For decades there existed an eating establishment in San Antonio, Texas, call Little Hip's. Inside there was a long bar and on the opposite wall a row of booths. Each booth had a small nickelodeon with music selections from the 40s, such as Gene Autry singing "Back in the Saddle, Again." The motif was Christmas, circa 1940's, which remained in place all year; year in and year out. There was an electric train that ran on a track all around the bar and eating booths. One of Hip's specialities was a grilled Hip's Hotburger Steak and fries. The steak was about a third to a half, of a pound of ground beef, stuffed with Jalapeño chile and cheddar cheese. It was absolutely delicious!

For each steak form two similar circular patties using a third to a half of a pound of ground beef.

Form a slight depression in the bottom patty and add grated or very thin sliced cheddar cheese and minced or thinly sliced Jalapeño chiles.

Press this into a thin single thickness in the center of the patty. Don't use too much cheese or it will run out when melted.

Place the top patty on over the bottom patty and press the patties flat forming one stuffed patty. be sure to seal the edges of the two halves.

Season with salt and pepper.

Now, grill the stuffed patty being careful not to break it.

Serve with hot French Fried potatoes and a lettuce and tomato salad.
