Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lbs. ground beef
• 1 package (11.75 ounces) frozen mozzarella and garlic cheese bread
• salt and pepper
• 4 tomato slices
• 12 large fresh basil leaves

Instructions

Heat bread according to package directions for grilling; watch so that bread does not burn on bottom.

Meanwhile lightly shape ground beef into four 3/4-inch thick patties. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.

Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes to 160°F doneness, turning occasionally.

Cut bread crosswise into four "buns." Season burgers with salt and pepper, as desired. Place burgers on buns; top with tomato and basil.

Suggestions

If mozzarella and garlic cheese bread is not available, substitute regular garlic bread; 2 minutes before burgers are done, top each with mozzarella cheese slice.
