Directions:

Preheat grill to medium.
Place oats in foodsafe plastic bag. Seal bag securely, squeezing out excess air.
Roll over bag with rolling pin to crush oats to a fine consistency.
In a large bowl combine ground beef, oats, and steak seasoning, mixing lightly but thoroughly.
Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch patties.
Place patties on grid and grill, uncovered, 11 to 13 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until no longer pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally.
Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.
Line bottom of each bun with lettuce and tomato, if desired; top with burger and cheese slice.
Close sandwiches.
Serve.
