Directions

Combine beef, egg, garlic, cheese, olives, bread crumbs, onion, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning in bowl.

Divide meat into 6 portions. Form into 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick patties. Make a thumb-print depression in centre of each patty (to prevent rounding while they grill). Make Ahead: Refrigerate, covered for 1 hour or up to 1 day.

Grill patties using medium-high heat for 10 to 14 minutes, turning twice, until digital rapid-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty reads 160°F (71°C). Top with the Tasty Topping (if desired).

TASTY TOPPING

Pan fry 1 green pepper, slivered, in nonstick pan with 1 tsp (5 mL) olive oil until just softened. Stir in 1/2 cup (125 mL) slivered thinly sliced summer sausage; warm through. Toss with 1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced iceberg lettuce and 1/4 cup (50 mL) Italian salad dressing.
