Cheeseburgers with Spicy Ranch Sauce

2 pounds ground beef
8 slices American cheese
8 hamburger buns split
Romaine lettuce leaves
Tomato slices

Spicy Ranch Sauce:
1/2 cup prepared ranch salad dressing
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons canned, chopped green chilies
1 tablespoon green jalapeņo hot pepper sauce

Combine Spicy Ranch Sauce ingredients in medium bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Lightly shape ground beef into eight 3/4-inch patties. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.

Grill, uncovered, 11 to 13 minutes to medium (160F) doneness, until no longer pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally. About 1 minute before burgers are done, top with cheese slices.

Line bottom of each bun with lettuce and tomato, as desired; top with burger. Spoon sauce evenly over burgers. Close sandwiches.
