A great beef grilling recipe to leisurely end the hot, humid days of summer and transition to a cooler, more festive orientated time of the year. Labor Day traditionally is the end of summer and this easy, simple cheeseburger is devoid of any hard labor. Mix and grill!

1 pound ground beef (95% lean)

2 tablespoons quick-cooking oats

1/2 teaspoon steak seasoning blend

4 seeded or whole wheat hamburger buns, split

4 slices low fat cheese, such as Cheddar or American

Toppings:

Lettuce leaves, tomato slices (optional)

1. Place oats in food safe plastic bag. Seal bag securely, squeezing out excess air. Roll over bag with rolling pin to crush oats to a fine consistency.

2. Combine ground beef, oats, and steak seasoning blend in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.

3. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch patties.

4. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.

5. Grill, covered, 11 to 13 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7 to 8 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160*F, turning occasionally.

6. Line bottom of each bun with lettuce and tomato, if desired; top with burger and cheese slice.

Close sandwiches.

Makes 4 servings.
