Recipe By     : Jo Anne Merrill

      Yield: 4 servings
 
 
      1/2 c  sour cream
        3    green onions -- chopped,
  :          with tops
        3 TB bread crumbs
      1/2 ts Worcestershire sauce
      1/2 ts lemon pepper
        1 lb lean ground beef
        4    hamburger buns
  :          shredded lettuce
        1    tomato -- 4 slices/hamburger
        1    yellow onion -- 4
  :          slices/hamburger
        2 ts mustard
        1 TB mayonnaise
        1 TB catsup
  
  1. Prepare white or yellow sweet onion by slicing in
  thick slices, place in plastic bag or glass jar with
  ice water, seal and refrigerate until ready to use.
  This makes the onions very crisp and juicy.
  
  2. Slice a vine-ripened tomato into thick slices. Mix
  sour cream, chopped green onions, bread crumbs,
  Worcestershire sauce and lemon pepper seasoning. Mix
  this in with the ground meat until combined well.
  Shape into 4 patties.
  
  3. Cooking the hamburger patties: GRILL: Place meat on
  grill over hot coals and cook to desired doneness,
  turning only once or twice. BROIL: Place meat in
  broiler pan; broil to desired doneness. MICROWAVE:
  Place meat in a microwave-safe dish and cover loosely
  with plastic wrap (made for microwave purposes); vent
  one edge slightly. Microwave on highest power for 3
  minutes. Turn patties over and cook 3 minutes longer
  or until desired doneness. Rotate the dish 1/4 turn
  every 1-2 minutes. Drain well.
  
  4. Mix the mayonnaise, mustard and catsup. Blend well.
  
  5. To serve, divide the catsup mixture evenly on the
  warmed hamburger buns, top with a meat patty, tomato
  slice, onion slice and shredded lettuce. Also good
  with alfalfa or radish sprouts.
