2 tsp. - salt, divided

2 tsp. - freshly ground black pepper

1/3 cup - honey

2 T - lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

Combine ground chuck, asiago cheese, 1 tsp. of the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Form into 6 patties. Grill on closed grill until cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side).
