Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground chuck
• 1 pound ground round
• 1/2 cup Heinz 57 Sauce
• 1/2 cup A1 Steak Sauce
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup chopped sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 finely chopped large yellow onion
• Garlic salt
• 4 slices extra-thick Velveeta cheese slices
• Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat smoker to 275 degrees F.

2. In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, ground round, Heinz 57 Sauce and A1 Steak Sauce.

3. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushroom and onion and cook until softened, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt. Cut cheese into 16 squares.

4. Using a 1/3-cup measure, shape beef mixture to make 16 patties. (They don't have to be perfect.) On eight of the patties, place one square of cheese, then 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture and top with another square of cheese. Place another plain patty on top and pinch edges to seal. Reshape the edges with your fingers to round out. Sprinkle lightly with pepper.

5. Place burgers on third rack of smoker and smoke for 1 hour or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F and meat is no longer pink inside.
