These big burgers are almost a meal by themselves. With a delectable cheese and vegetable filling, they'll surely satisfy any crowd. — Loretta Moe, Grafton, North Dakota

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or cheese of your choice
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped green pepper
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped tomato
  • 3 fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 hamburger buns, split

Directions

  1. Shape beef into eight patties. In a large bowl, combine the cheese, green pepper, tomato, mushrooms and onions. Top half of the patties with vegetable mixture. Cover with remaining patties and firmly press edges to seal.
  2. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 3 minutes on each side. Brush with barbecue sauce and sprinkle with sugar. Grill, covered, or broil 5-6 minutes longer on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear, basting occasionally. Serve on buns.
