Blue Ribbon Recipe

These stuffed green chilies burgers are super flavorful. Cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder spice up the ground beef. There's a touch of heat from the pepper jack cheese stuffed in the center of the burger. They're topped with green chiles and crunchy French fried onions. A smear of the delicious cilantro ranch dressing is a tasty final touch.
