Ingredients:

For the Burger Patties:

• 5 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Cheese Sauce:

• 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Sautéed Onions and Peppers:

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper (green, red, or a mix), thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For Assembling:

• 4 hamburger buns
• Mayonnaise or aioli (optional)
• Lettuce leaves
• Sliced tomato

Instructions:

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce:

1. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the shredded provolone cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, milk, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper.
2. Stir continuously until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
3. Remove the cheese sauce from heat and set it aside.

    Sauté the Onions and Peppers:

1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet.
3. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Sauté the onions and peppers until they become soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and set the sautéed onions and peppers aside.

    Prepare the Burger Patties:

1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
2. Season the patties with salt and black pepper.

    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.

    Assemble the Philly Fusion Phenomenon Burgers:

1. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
2. Optionally, spread mayonnaise or aioli on the inside of each bun.
3. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun.
4. Add a cooked burger patty on the lettuce.
5. Top the patty with a generous amount of sautéed onions and peppers.
