Double Cheddar Burgers

My family always wonders why I prefer my homemade patties to store bought ones, but after tasting these I think they have changed their minds.  These burgers are mixed with sauteed vegetables, steak seasoning, and both filled and topped with 2 different types of cheddar cheese.  I made these using both beef and turkey for my family. 

Ingredients:

2 pounds 93% lean ground beef or ground turkey

1 cup diced bell pepper

½ onion diced

½ cup carrots diced

1 tablespoon steak seasoning

8 slices white cheddar cheese

8 slices sharp cheddar cheese

Buns or bibb lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc…

Directions:

1. Finley chop onions, peppers, and carrots using a food processor. 
2. Transfer chopped vegetables to a nonstick pan.  Saute over medium heat for 5 minutes.
3. Add beef or turkey to a large bowl.  Mash up to break up into smaller chunks.
4. Add cooked vegetables and 1 tablespoon steak seasoning. 
5. Mix well to combine.
6. Form 8 large patties.  Flatten by hand or using a burger press.
7. Fold slices of white cheddar in half lengthwise.  Fold again to make two squares. 
8. Add 2 squares of cheese to the center of each patty. 
9. Fold in the sides to cover the cheese.
10. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side.
11. Divide sharp cheddar cheese slices in half and break into 2 squares.  Add 2 squares of cheese during the last minute of grilling.
12. Serve on buns or bibb lettuce. 
13. Add desired toppings.
