Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt -- divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms -- sliced
1 teaspoon dried basil
5 Tablespoons butter or margarine -- divided
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tablespoons green onion -- chopped

Combine beef, crumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2
teaspoon salt, pepper and garlic powder; mix well. Shape
into 3 or 4 oval patties; cook on both sides until no longer
pink. Cook the mushrooms and basil in 2 Tablespoon butter
over medium-high heat until tender. Increase heat to high;
cook and stir until most of the liquid evaporates. Melt the
remaining butter; stir in flour. Gradually blend in cream.
Add 1/2 cup water, hot pepper sauce and remaining salt; cook
and stir on low until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir
for 2 minutes more. Add enough remaining water to make a
medium-thin sauce. Add mushrooms; heat through. Serve over
beef patties; top with cheese and onions.
Yield: 3-4 servings.
