Would that the Vitamin C would help my lungs. The COPD and emphysema make

It's good that you didn't get "dinged" by the hail. I've seen cases where
innsurance had to pay a "total loss" because of dents all over the roof,
hood and trunk of a vehicle.

recipe" poss categories I see that we have "National Hamburger Month"
"2nd Week - National Hamburger Week", "National Hamburger/Cheeseburger
Day (Memorial Day)" and "May 28: International Hamburger Day"

     Title: Hamburger Steaks w/Onions & Gravy
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Sauces
     Yield: 2 Servings

     1 lb Ground beef; chuck, round,
          - or sirloin
     1 lg Egg
   1/4 c  Bread crumbs
   1/4 ts Black pepper; to taste
   1/2 ts Mrs Dash seasoned salt;
          - yellow lid
   1/2 ts Onion powder
   1/2 ts Garlic powder
     1 ts Worcestershire sauce
     1 tb Oil
     1 c  Thin sliced onion

MMMMM---------------------------GRAVY--------------------------------
     2 tb A-P flour
     1 c  Beef broth
     1 tb Sherry or Port; opt
   1/2 ts Mrs Dash seasoned salt;
          - yellow lid

 In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg,
 bread crumbs, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder,
 and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 2 balls, and flatten
 into patties.

 Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry
 the patties and onion in the oil until patties are
 nicely browned and cooked just below desired doneness.
 Remove the beef patties to a plate, and keep warm.

 MAKE THE GRAVY: Sprinkle flour over the onions and
 drippings in the skillet. Stir in flour with a fork,
 scraping bits of beef off of the bottom as you stir.
 Gradually mix in the beef broth and wine (if using).
 Season with seasoned salt. Simmer and stir over
 medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until the gravy
 thickens. Turn heat to low, return patties to the gravy,
 cover, and simmer for another 5 to 15 minutes.

 Serves two nicely
