We had a little farewell BBQ right before I left North Carolina. I decided to make these amazing queso burgers. We love queso and we love burgers… queso+burgers= mind blown!
I have been watching what I eat right before our Hawaii trip at the end of the month. This was my hardest challenge to face not being able to eat one of these amazing burgers. The cheesey queso dripping down a freshly grilled burger? So yummy! I was able to get through and resist and eat a salad. Life is hard sometimes. But in the words of my husband, “These burgers are like a fiesta queso explosion in your mouth and are amazing!” I should have him start writing the blog! 🙂

Queso Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- 1 pound easy melt cheese, like Velveeta, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained
- 6 hamburger buns
- 6 pieces leaf lettuce
- 1 large tomato, cut into 6 slices
Instructions
- Melt the cheese and diced tomatoes in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
- Shape the ground beef into 6 burger patties and season them with salt and pepper.
- Heat a grill to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, or a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are no longer pink.
- To assemble the burgers, place a cooked patty on a bottom bun and top with 2 tablespoons of melted cheese and tomatoes. Top with the lettuce, sliced tomato, and top bun, and enjoy!

No grill available. Can you give me oven or skillet time and temp?
I don’t have a grill can i baked them in the oven? If so can you recommend temp and minutes.
We always have queso in my house so I will defiantly have to try this.
My boyfriend would LOVE these. Burgers and cheese, he’s such a simple man to please.
Dang girl, the discipline you must have to not eat one of these and opt for a salad instead is impressive!
Believe me! These are on my list to make as soon as I get back from my trip! 😀
This looks so delicious ! and reminds me a burger would also be yummy with the tostios salsa con queso!
