2 tablespoons butter, melted

Burger

1 lb ground beef (at least 80% lean)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Dressing

3/4 cup mayonnaise

Salad

1 large head iceberg lettuce, chopped (8 cups)

Steps

Heat oven to 375°F. In ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan, spread bread cubes in single layer. Drizzle melted butter evenly over bread cubes; toss until coated. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat.

In small bowl, mix Dressing ingredients.
4

Divide lettuce among 4 serving bowls. Arrange beef mixture, cheese, tomatoes, dill pickles and croutons on top of lettuce. Serve with dressing.
