Chesapeake Bay Stuffed Crab Burger

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground chuck

1 teaspoon horseradish

1 teaspoon lemon pepper

1 1/2 cups lump crabmeat

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon lemon zest

2 teaspoons minced ginger

4 teaspoons finely chopped green onion

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

6 tablespoons cracker crumbs

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

4 hamburger buns

Directions:

Season ground chuck with horseradish and lemon pepper. Divide into eight patties.

Make crab stuffing by combining crabmeat with cilantro, cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, zest, Old Bay, onion and ginger. Be careful to fold the crabmeat in gently as not to break up the lumps.

Divide stuffing among four patties. Flatten crabmeat slightly, leaving about 1/2-inch around edge. Place remaining patty on top of each and crimp edges with fork. (Burgers may need some reshaping.)

Grill on medium high to internal temperature of 160° F. Serve on burger buns.
