Stupendous Burgers

STUPENDOUS BURGERS

4 SERVINGS

Here is a super cheeseburger, well stacked, superbly sauced, for hearty appetites. It's knife-and-fork food.

4 large hamburgers, broiled (1 pound meat)

2 cups hot cheese sauce

4 slices toast

4 slices Swiss cheese

4 slices mild onion

4 slices tomato

4 strips bacon

4 sliced stuffed olives

Better make the sauce while the burgers cook: Blend 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup butter, add 2 cups milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few drops Tabasco and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook to smooth sauce. Melt 1,5 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese in the sauce.

When sauce and burgers are ready, do this: Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each side of toast, and park a hamburger on it. Top with an onion slice, then a tomato slice. Pour the hot cheese sauce over the burger stacks and garnish with the bacon and olives.
