Source of Recipe

From "Taste of Home American Summer Cookbook"


Recipe Introduction

"We do a lot of camping and outdoor cooking. I must admit that hamburgers are on our menu more than any other food. These classics are a favorite."

List of Ingredients

◦ 1 pound ground beef
◦ 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
◦ 2 tablespoons chili sauce
◦ 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
◦ 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
◦ 4 slices process American cheese or Cheddar cheese, halved diagonally
◦ 2 slices Swiss cheese, halved diagonally
◦ 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
◦ Lettuce leaves, sliced tomato and onion, cooked bacon strips, ketchup and mustard, optional


Recipe

Combine first five ingredients, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four patties.

Grill burgers, covered, on a greased rack over medium direct heat until a thermometer reads 160 degrees F and juices run clear, about 6 minutes on each side.

During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with two triangles of American cheese and one triangle of Swiss cheese. Serve on buns; top as desired with lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, ketchup, and mustard.
