Pepper Cheese Stuffed Burgers
PEPPER CHEESE STUFFED BURGERS
1 1/2 pounds ground beef -- 80% lean
2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese w/ jalapeno peppers -- thinly sliced
Salt and pepper -- if desired
4 hamburger buns -- split
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices tomato
Divided ground beef into 8 equal portions; shape each into 4-inch diameter patties. Place equal amount of cheese in center of 4 patties. Top with remaining 4 patties; press edges together to seal securely. Place patties on grid over medium coals. Grill 10 to 12 minutes or to desired doneness, turning once. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toast buns on grill 1 minute, if desired. Arrange 1 lettuce leaf on each bun bottom; top each with 1 burger and 1 tomato slice. Cover with bun tops.
We like these with sliced onion and peperoncini slices on top!
