Burgers

Burgers are probably one of my most favorite main dishes EVER. I plan on making my feta cheese burgers for labor day this weekend. Hopefully I'll remember to snap a picture.....

Stuffed Feta Burgers
1 lb ground beef, (best with 80/20)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbed (or fresh goat's cheese)
Grilled or fried onion rings (sweet onions work best)
ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, etc
Hamburger buns

Sprinkle the salt & pepper and the worcestershire sauce over the ground beef. Form the ground beef into roughly 3 ounce patties. An ice cream scoop works well for this. Flatten the patties and in half the patties make an indentation in the middle. Equally divide the cheese among half the patties. Use the other half of patties to cover and seal the edges with your fingers. Refridgerate for 15 minutes. Grill untill desired doneness.

Makes 4.

If you prefer veggie burgers, here is a recipe for a bean burger that can be used with the above recipe:

1 cup dried Anasazi beans
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup carrots, diced
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg or egg substitute (a real egg works best for this)
