• Cheese Sauce
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
• 4 drops hot pepper sauce

Directions

Burgers

Prior to heating grill, spray with nonstick spray. Light coals.

Reserve 1/3 cup onions for garnishing burgers. Combine remaining onions with beef, egg, Worcestershire, salt, garlic salt and pepper. Mix well. Shape mixture into large oval patties about 3/4-inch thick and slightly larger than the bread you are using (meat will shrink while cooking). When coals are hot, cook patties about 3-4 inches from coals and cook to desired degree of doneness (about 12 to 15 minutes, turning patties over half way through cooking process). While burgers are cooking, toast bread on grill and prepare Cheese Sauce. To serve, top each roll or bread slice with a grilled patty, 2-3 tomato slices and 2 green pepper rings. Drizzle with cheese sauce and sprinkle with reserved onions.

Cheese Sauce
Melt butter in heavy saucepan. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Add milk and cook and stir until thickened. Add cheese, Worcestershire, mustard and hot pepper sauce and stir gently until cheese melts. If burgers are served make-your-own style, place toppings and cheese sauce in chafing dish or a small bowl with serving spoon.
