- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can chopped green chilies, drained
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Preparation:
Combine ground beef, beer, egg, salt and pepper, and form into 8 patties 1/4 - 3/8" thick.Heat olive oil in a skillet over a very low heat, stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until light brown, being careful not to let it burn.
Add garlic and green chilies and continue to cook until heated through, again, do not burn.
Divide mixture between 4 patties and spread to approximately 1/2" from edge. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Monterey Jack cheese on top of mixture. Top with another patty and seal the edges tightly.
