Recipe: All-American Burgers with American and Muenster

ALL-AMERICAN BURGERS WITH AMERICAN AND MUENSTER

1 pound ground beef (85 percent lean)
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
2 tablespoons butter
4 slices American cheese, halved diagonally
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
2 slices Muenster cheese, quartered
4 slices tomato
4 lettuce leaves

Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt and pepper, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Divide into 4 portions and form into patties, 1/2 inch thick.

Place on rack in broiler pan so burgers are 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.

Meanwhile saute onion in butter over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes. Place 1/2 slice of American cheese, equal amounts of grilled onion, then 1/2 slice of American cheese on each burger 1 minute before end of cooking time.

TO SERVE:
Place equal amounts of Muenster cheese on bottom half of each bun. Top each with tomato, burger and lettuce leaf; cover with bun top.
