Texas Stuffed Grilled Burgers- Five Servings

visiting.
Required ingredients:
5 pounds of lean ground beef 6 tablespoons of Worcestershire
sauce 2 teaspoons hickory seasoning (optional) salt and
pepper to your taste 2 cups of onion, chopped 2 cups of
fresh, chopped 2 cups of cooked ham, chopped 3 cups of
shredded cheddar cheese
To prepare:
Preheat your outdoor grill for high heat. When hot, lightly
oil the grate. In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, the
Worcestershire sauce, the hickory seasoning, and the salt
and pepper until well blended. Make 8 or 10 balls, and
flatten them into patties. On one half of the patties, add
the onions, mushrooms, ham and cheese. Carefully cover the
piles with the remaining patties, being sure to seal all of
the edges of the patties together tightly and enclose the
filling. Cook the patties for 8-10 minutes per side, or
until meat is well done, and cheese in the center is melted.
