I dreamed up these cheese- and vegetable-stuffed burgers for a family barbecue years ago, recalls veteran cook Betty Canoles of Atascadero, California. They're delicious grilled or pan-fried. You bite into a surprise. Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
6 thin slices cheddar cheese |
1 large green pepper, julienned |
1 medium onion, thinly sliced |
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced |
6 thin slices swiss cheese |
salt and pepper to taste |
lettuce leaves |
6 hamburger buns, split |
Directions:
1. Shape beef into 12 thin patties. Top six patties with a slice of cheddar cheese, green pepper strips and a slice of onion, tomato and Swiss cheese. Top each with another patty and seal edges. Season to taste.
2. Grill beef, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Serve on lettuce-lined buns. Yield: 6 servings.
