- Grill burgers until no longer pink (about 10 minutes total).
- Toast rolls.

These are very easy to make, & tastes great. I don't put the cheese in the mixture, I like it melted over the top. Don't limit yourself to cheddar. I didn't use kaiser rolls, that's just too much bread, they're good in flour tortillas and they're good on wheat buns. I roasted my own red pepper rather than using store bought. I omitted the water from the sauce.
