INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 2 tablespoons minced onion
• 1 to 1 1/4 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

DIRECTIONS

• In medium mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions. Form each portion into 3 1/2-inch diameter patty.
• If using a griddle, set to 350°F. Skillet, etc., set to medium-high.
• Ideally a thermometer would be used to check the done-ness, removing the patties at the desired temperature. If no thermometer is available, a good guideline is to turn the patties after two minutes of cooking, cook two minutes more and turn again, cook another 2 minutes and check for done-ness (6 minutes should be close to well-done. cook less than 6 minutes for medium, etc.)
• Stuffed Italian Hamburgers: Follow the recipe above, except form hamburger mixture into twelve 3 1/2-inch diameter patties. Saute 3/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms in 1 teaspoon butter until just tender. On each of 6 patties place 2 teaspoons cooked mushrooms and 1 scant tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese, leaving 1/2 inch around edges. Top with remaining patties. Pinch edges together to seal. Cook as in step 3.
