Ingredients:

For the Burger Patties:

• 5 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:

• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 8 slices provolone cheese
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembling:

• 4 hamburger buns
• Mayonnaise or mayonnaise-based dressing (optional)
• Sliced pickles (optional)

Instructions:

    Prepare the Burger Patties:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix the ingredients until well combined.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

    Prepare the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:

1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the thinly sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.

    Cook the Burger Patties:

1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place 2 slices of provolone cheese on each patty to melt.

    Assemble the Philly Fusion Fantasy Burgers:

1. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
2. Optionally, spread a layer of mayonnaise or your favorite mayonnaise-based dressing on the inside of each bun.
3. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun.
4. Add a cooked burger patty with melted provolone cheese on the lettuce.
5. Top the patty with the sautéed onion and green bell pepper mixture.
6. Add sliced pickles if desired.
7. Place the other half of the bun on top.
