Instructions

Instructions: Pre-heat gas grill to high heat. To make the stampede cheese filling, combine the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and pablano peppers in a small mixing bowl. Mix well, cover and set aside. To make the cajun cowboy burger patties, combine the ground chuck, smoked andouille sausage, yellow onions, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, LEA & PERRINS Worcestershire sauce, garlic, sea salt, and cayenne pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix well, but try to handle the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it. Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions. Form the portions into burger patties to fit the bun. Make a well in the center of each burger patty. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the stampede cheese filling into the well inside the burger. Carefully form the burger around the filling. Ensure the filling is completely covered with meat. Cover and set aside. To make the onions & peppers, combine the yellow onion strips, red pepper strips, and pablano pepper strips in medium sized bowl and set aside. When the grill is ready, place a medium sized cast iron skillet or other favorite grill pan on the grill rack and melt the butter. When the butter is completely melted, add the onions & peppers to the skillet. Sprinkle with pepper and salt. Stir consistently for 7-10 minutes. Set aside and cover to keep the onions & peppers warm. After the onions & peppers are finished, place the burger patties on the rack. To begin, cook the burger patties 2-3 minutes on each side with the grill on high. After each side has been cooked for 2-3 minutes on each side, turn the grill down to a medium-high heat and cook 3-4 minutes on each side. Prior to the last 2 minutes of grilling, place the buns on the medium rack to toast. To assemble the burgers, place the burger patties on the bottom bun and top with a generous portion the peppers and onions, place the top bun over the peppers and onions, and ENJOY!
