(press out to a size that is approximately the same or slightly larger than the rolls) 4 Place rounded slice of Queso cheese on 6 of the patties. 6 Top each meat patty with cheese with a plain patty and crimp and fold the edges to seal. Grilling: 1 Apply oil to the grill grate 2 Cut Kiser rolls in half ready for toasting on the grill. 3 Place stuffed meat patties on the grill over medium high heat and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes. Carefully turn and cook the second side for about another 6 minutes. Note that grilling time varies depending heat/hot spots on the grill. 4 A couple of minutes prior to taking the burgers from the grill, top each burger with a shredded cheddar cheese (approx 1 oz.). 5 Place the Kiser rolls, cut side down, on the grill, lightly toast and remove from the grill. 6 Place a couple of pieces of crisp lettuce on the bottom ½ of the toasted Kiser roll. 7 Place the burger directly on the lettuce. 8 Generously apply salsa to the top of the burger and top with the top ½ of the toasted roll. 9 Slice as desired and serve immediately.
