Loaded Hamburgers

Patrick and I came up with this concoction, and we're pretty proud of it. We wanted some deliciously massive burgers, and since we're really into vegetables lately (who am I turning into?!?!) we wanted to put them in too.

-1lb lean ground beef
-1 green pepper and 1 red pepper, finely chopped
-packet of McCormick's Tomato Garlic & Basil Marinade
-Onion powder (or onions, if you are an onion lover -eww!-)
-Garlic or garlic powder
-Salt & pepper
-1 egg
-bread crumbs (just a handful, or enough to make the egg not so sticky)
-Shredded mozerella cheese

Mix it all together, sans the cheese. Patrick does it with his hands because it's easier. Then he separates it into 5 globs, putting one aside for Maya. With the other 4 he separates them in half, flattens one half and makes a pouch, and puts it on the plate. I put in the cheese while he's flattening the other half, and then pinches them together. Cook it on low/medium low until it's done-these are really thick burgers. They are so good we personally don't use any condiments!

TSFL edit:
Make 6oz patties. Use 1tsp of the spice packet and up to 1/2C diced peppers in each patty (if you are following TSFL do each one individually to ensure you have the right measurements, if just eating healthy it's not a big deal). Cook on the grill and enjoy with no bun but 1tbsp ketchup for dipping... and a nice massive salad :)
