Cajun Seasoned Stuffed Cheeseburger

Submitted by Chef shapeweaver

"I was getting tired of the same old type of cheeseburger, and believe it or not nothing in the "ZAAR" database was striking my fancy. So this is what I came up with.The amounts are just " a little of this and a little of that" so if you want to change anything please go right ahead. :) You might have to tear off the corners of the cheese to fit the burger, if you do just place the remaining cheese on top of the burger after cooking.Posted to "ZAAR" on December 7th, 2008"
