This is a great summer recipe that will make you feel guilty as hell!

One of my daughters -- the one who lives out in Portland, Oregon -- the national capitol of progressivism, tree hugging and the fresh, local and organic food movement -- writes a wonderful blog called EAT WELL. I really enjoy it and she posts lots of wonderful recipes about fresh and healthy eating.
I'm presenting you today with a recipe that won't make the grade in her blog, but it is a fantastic summer, informal and sinful hamburger. If you like hamburgers you're going to love this one!
I call it "the incredible egg and cheese topped pepper burger." To cook four burgers my way you'll need to have a pound of good, lean hamburger, four hamburger buns, a half cup of chopped peppers (your choice and taste), 1 medium thinly sliced pepper, 4 eggs, a wedge of brie or Gorgonzola cheese (I love the Gorgonzola), lettuce leaves, salt, pepper, mayo and ketchup.
Here's how you do it!

Here's how you do it!
- Heat up the grill (outdoors preferably)
- Brown a variety of peppers in a fry pan on your stove top
- Mix pepper in with the ground beef and form 4 patties
- Brown slices of onion
- Put burgers on the hot grill and grill to medium
- Top burgers with a wedge of the cheese for last 2 minutes
- Fry four eggs over easy as the burgers grill
- Remove burgers from grill and put on the buns and on platter
- Put dab of Mayo on each burger and top with fried onions
- Top that with a section of the over-easy fried egg
- Top all that with a very thin slice of tomato and small leaf of lettuce
Serve with a super potato salad and chilled hamburger pickles and serve with ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper available as toppers.
Yum! Notice that I didn't salt for health purposes and leave that up to the diner.
