BBQ & Cheese Filled Burgers

Pairs well with:

Zinfandel

Bright and full-bodied, this Zinfandel wine is a curious contradiction in tastes.

Ingredients:

1/4 c dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoom Worstershire Sauce
2 pounds 85% lean Ground Beef
6 Thick Slices Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted
6 large onion (Kaiser Style) Buns
1 red onion, sliced thin

Instructions:

Combine all seasonings with the ground beef in large mixing bowl – cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Preheat grill to medium high temperature. Form refrigerated patties into 12 “flat” patties. Place 1 slice of cheese onto the center of 6 patties. Top each with another patty and pinch edges together to form sealed “pockets”. Grill 8 minutes on each side. During the last 8 minutes brush the insides of the onion buns with melted butter and “grill” to toast. Place a cooked bun onto each and top with a thin slice of red onion.
