Top with cheddar cheese; cover and cook for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. For remoulade, in a small bowl, combine the mayo, lemon juice, pepper sauce, relish and capers. Spread rolls with butter and sprinkle with remaining garlic powder. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve burgers on rolls with remoulade.
