Ingredients

　　1 pound lean ground beef chuck

　　1/2 cup chopped yellow onion

　　1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

　　1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard

　　1 tablespoon tomato sauce

　　1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)

　　In a medium bowl, combine the ground meat, onion, horseradish, mustard, tomato sauce, and salt. Mix well and form into 4 patties. Place in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat to desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes a side for medium-rare, 6 minutes if you prefer your burgers well-done (but dry!).

　　Cooks' Note

　　You can add a tremendous variety of spices to the raw ground beef and have the result come out very well. For “onion and tomato buns,” an alternative to high-glycemic hamburger buns, dip onion and tomato slices in egg white and coat with grated Parmesan cheese. Brown in oil over high heat until crisped and lightly browned, about 1 minute a side. Sprinkle with pepper and seasoned salt. Serve each burger between an onion slice and a tomato slice.
