You can't get much more patriotic than
this when you transform all-American hamburgers into star-spangled
cheeseburgers. Serve with old-fashioned potato salad and freshly-squeezed
lemonade.
Star-Spangled
Cheeseburgers
- 2 pounds ground beef
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup honey mustard
8 slices American cheese
8 hamburger buns, split
Romaine lettuce, tomato slices
- Combine mayonnaise and
mustard. Cut star shapes from cheese with cookie cutter.
- Lightly shape ground beef
into eight 1/2-inch thick patties. Place patties on grid over
medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 11 to 13 minutes
to medium (160°F or 70°C) doneness, until not pink in
center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally. Season
with salt and pepper after turning. About 1 minute before burgers
are done, top with cheese stars.
- Serve in buns with sauce,
lettuce and tomato.
Makes 8 servings.
