This poor-man's steak is just a hearty stuffed hamburger patty. I've grilled onions and peppers and stuffed them into a hamburger patty with cheese. The result is delightful and delicious. #TexasHomesteader
Grill the chopped onions, bell peppers & jalapenos (if using) on a griddle coated with bacon grease until soft & set aside.
Season ground beef with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper & 1/2 teaspoon onion powder.
Separate the 2 lbs of ground meat into 10 equal sections of approximately 1/4 lb each (5 burgers).
Flatten each meat section & add the sautéed peppers & onions to the middle of half the patties. Add a small cube of cheese on top of the sautéed veggies. Then top with another section of ground meat and press the edges to seal.
Fry each side of the patty until done - about 5-6 minutes each side.
If desired, serve patties on a bed of fried potatoes and ladle brown gravy on top.
These burgers are thicker than normal so it takes a little longer to cook them. I cooked each side about 5-6 minutes so I could make sure it was well done all the way through.
This recipe will make 5 large restaurant-sized servings. So feel free to reduce down to smaller patties for more servings if desired.
