3 lbs. ground beef
sliced tomato
head of lettuce
1 pack yellow American cheese
1 pack white American cheese
salt and pepper for seasoning
Instructions
Cut rolls in half.

Preheat grill to medium-high.
Form 6 football-shaped patties with ground beef.
Grill burgers 4-5 minutes on each side.
While the burgers are grilling, cut the white American cheese into thin strips. Arrange the cheese strips on the tops of the oval rolls to create football laces and the lines on each end.
