Have made this recipe for 35+ years and it is still a favorite of my husbands. It is "hearty" and I normally allow 2 burgers per serving.

    You could probably use chipolte peppers, or any kind of peppers besides sweet green peppers, and you could probably also use a shredded monteray jack/cheddar mix or a jalapeno cheddar as well. We just like it the way the recipe called for to begin with...all those years ago.
