1 1/2 lb Lean ground beef

           Salt
           Brown bouquet sauce (opt)
           Water (optional)
      6    Hamburger buns

      6 sl Cheese

  1. Form beef into 6 patties about 1/2-inch thick. 2. Sprinkle with salt and

  brush patties with a 1-to-1 mixture of brown bouquet sauce and water, if a
  deep brown color is desired. 3. Arrange patties in a circle in a paper
  towel-lined, shallow, heat resistant, non-metallic baking dish. Do not
  place any patties in the center of the circle. Heat, covered with paper
  toweling, in Microwave Oven 5 minutes. Turn patties over. 4. Brush again
  with brown bouquet mixture if desired. 5. Heat, uncovered, an additional
  minute. Burgers will be rare. Heat an additional 1 to 2 minutes for medium
  or well-done. 6. Place 1 patty on each hamburger bun and top each hamburger
  with a slice of cheese. Arrange hamburgers on a heat-resistant non-metallic
  serving platter and heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 2 minutes or until
  cheese is melted.
