Food Inspired: Cheesesteak Burgers

                       

Inspiration: Cooking Light Magazine

I loved the idea behind this burger but I wanted to make it closer to the original.  Everyone loved them. The best part was that they didn't need mayonaisse or ketchup. They were great on their own.  

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

1 green pepper, thinly sliced

1 yellow onion, thinly sliced

4 slices provolone cheese

4 whole grain hamburger rolls (or go sans roll)

1 lb lean ground beef (I use 90/10)

Directions

1. Combine onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and beef. Shape beef mixture into 4 patties.  Put to the side.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat.  Add onion and pepper; sauté 6 - 9 minutes.
   
3. Once the onions have browned remove from heat.
   
4. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan; cook 3 minutes. Turn patties over; cook 2 1/2 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.
5. Top patties with onions and peppers. Cover the onions and peppers with cheese; cook 1 1/2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
