Shape mixture into 5 patties, each about 3/4-inch thick. Set oven control to broil or 550 degrees F. Broil the patties 4 inches from the heat, turning once, to the desired doneness, about 10 to 15 minutes. Top each patty with sauerkraut and a cheese slice. Broil until the cheese is melted and a light brown in color. Nice served on toasted rye or pumpernickel buns or bread.
