3. Gently add the meat and in the bowl and gently mix
   
   
4. Form patties but be sure not to overwork

6. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top
   
   
7. Heat up some tomato sauce (see Mama’s Tomato Sauce Recipe)
   
   
8. Add patties to grill and cook to your desired taste and sprinkle a bit more of Mama’s Organic Smoked Steak & Barbecue Rub on each side
   
   
9. About one minute before your patty reaches your desired temperature add two slices of mozzarella or provolone cheese
   
   
10. When cheese is melted add burger to bun or Focaccia bread (be sure to add melted butter to the bread or bun first and toast it for best overall flavor and results and add the pre-heated tomato sauce plus optional lettuce and raw red onion slice to bottom of bun/bread before placing patty on top
