The fourth of July is just around the corner. I actually have the day off so I am going to cook up a special 4th of July menu for myself and a few friends. I decided on burgers, a pasta salad and an apple pie for dessert. Nothing too fancy.
I found the burger recipe in a 1973 Good Housekeeping Cooking for Two cookbook.
Fancy Hamburgers
Ingredients
1/2 lb ground beef
2 TBS sour cream
1 TBS bread crumbs
6- 8 fresh mushrooms, trimmed and chopped
1 green onion, finely sliced
1 TBS fresh chopped parsley
1/2 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients; mix well. Shape into 2 large patties. Heat a medium frying pan over high heat; reduce heat to medium. Cook on first side, for about 8 minutes. Flip the patties and cook for 8 more minutes or until your desired degree of doneness.
