Ingredients
  

  • 1.25 pounds ground beef 85% lean & organic is the best option
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 12 slices white bread
  • unsalted butter
  • American Cheese or Velveeta (We used Velveeta so it was nice and melty)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Skillet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine your egg, minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and ground beef. Form into thin patties.
  2. Cook on the grill, george forman indoor grill, or in a NuWave Oven until the hamburger is done and place on paper towels to drain the grease. Set aside.
  3. Add your chopped onion to a medium skillet along with 1 tablespoon of butter and cook until the onion is translucent and tender.
  4. Butter both sides of your bread and place them in a skillet and cook one side until it turns a nice golden brown. Flip the bread over and immediately place your cheese slices on it along with the cooked onion.
  5. Once the remaining sides of bread are golden and the cheese has melted add your hamburger and assemble your sandwich.
  6. If your cheese hasn’t completely melted you can place your bread pieces on a baking sheet under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to completely melt your cheese if needed.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftover burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently to keep them juicy.
  • Freezing: You can freeze uncooked patties for up to three months. Just layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Pairing: These burgers pair wonderfully with crispy fries, a fresh salad, or coleslaw, making for a complete meal.
  • Experiment with Cheese: Try different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a unique flavor twist.
  • Herbs and Spices: Feel free to mix in herbs such as parsley or spices like paprika into the beef mixture for an extra flavor kick.
