Step 1
in a bowl, mix ground beef, egg, onion, bread crumbs, Worcestershire, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt,
and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well blended. Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape
each into a patty about 4 inches wide.

Step 2
Lay burgers on an oiled barbecue grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill
(you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook burgers,
turning once, until browned on both sides and no longer pink inside (cut to test), 7 to
8 minutes total. Remove from grill.

Step 3
Lay buns, cut side down, on grill and cook until lightly toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 4
Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on bun bottoms. Add lettuce, tomato, burger, onion,
and salt and pepper to taste. Set bun tops in place.

For this recipe, we are essentially making a thick, meaty tomato sauce and
layering that with noodles and cheese into a casserole. Here's the run-down:

Start by making the sauce with ground beef, bell peppers, onions, and a combo
of tomato sauce, tomato paste, and crushed tomatoes. The three kinds of tomatoes
gives the sauce great depth of flavor.
Let this simmer while you boil the noodles and get the cheeses ready.
We're using ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan -- like the mix
of tomatoes, this 3-cheese blend gives the lasagna great flavor!

From there, it's just an assembly job. A cup of meat sauce, a layer of
noodles, more sauce, followed by a layer of cheese. Repeat until you
have three layers and have used up all the ingredients.

Bake until bubbly and you're ready to eat!
