Italian Garlic Bread Burgers
It doesn't have to have a bun to be a burger.

Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Servings: Serves 4

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

	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 and fry 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.

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.
