Submitted by Miracle Miriam

"This is a recipe I just made up, after being inspired by my friend's daughter's odd habit of eating hamburger with Italian dressing on it. This recipe is a great one to play around with. you can adjust seasoning or amount of dressing. Be creative."

This dish had nice flavor but the Italian dressing I used made it very salty (Newmans Own). Next time I will make my own or look for a lower salt content. Thanks for sharing Miriam. Made for Pick a Chef spring 2009.
