1 lb. lean ground beef
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1/4 c. chopped pepperoni (about 1 1/2 oz.)
3/4 tsp. dried Italian herb seasoning, crushed
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

Adjust oven rack 6 inches from heat source. Preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan and rack with non-stick spray.

In a medium bowl, mix ground beef, 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce, pepperoni and 1/2 teaspoon of the Italian herbs until well blended. Shape mixture into 4 patties, each about 3/8 inch thick. Stir remaining 1/4 teaspoon Italian herbs into remaining 1/2 cup tomato sauce; set aside.

Broil patties for 7 minutes or until almost desired doneness (do not turn over). Top patties with remaining 1/2 cup tomato sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Broil 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese melts.

Serve with buttered spaghetti, romaine salad and chocolate cupcakes. Makes 4 servings.
