1 pound lean ground beef

1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

2 tablespoons milk

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt, divided

Freshly ground pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 teaspoon dried basil

5 tablespoons butter, divided

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 cup half and half cream

1/2 cup water

Dash of Tabasco sauce

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons chopped green onions

1. Combine beef, crumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and garlic powder; mix well. Shape into 4 oval patties. In large heavy skillet, cook to desired doneness. Remove to serving platter and keep warm.
2. Drain remaining grease from skillet and melt 2 tablespoons butter; add the mushrooms and basil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
