We love burgers, but I don't always want to get out the grill. Plus I LOVE McDonalds burgers. Wish I didn't, but I do. So making a cheeseburger that tastes as good as McD's, but MUCH healthier (and I know exactly what is in it) is a huge hit in this family!
Serves 8 cheeseburgers
*1 lb lean ground beef (i use organic grass fed ground beef. You can taste the quality!)
*8 hamburger buns (I like Sara Lee Soft & Smooth Whole Grain White buns)
*Ketchup
*Classic yellow mustard
*2 T dried onion flakes
*1/2 Cup boiling water
*16 dill pickle slices
*8 thin slices deli american cheese
*salt
1)Put the dried onion flakes into the boiling water and let sit till rehydrated and no longer crunchy
2)Take meat and make 8 balls. Flatten each ball with your hand or wax paper till 1/8 inch thick
3)Brown faces of buns in fry pan over medium heat. Remove buns and in same pan cook burgers about 2 mins per side- salt each side to taste
4)On top bun, spread ketchup, mustard and onion in that order and add two pickle slices.
5)Put beef patty on bottom bun. Place cheese slice on top of patty. Quickly slap top bun on. Microwave for 15 seconds (until cheese melts).
We serve with Ore-Ida brand french fries or tater tots on the side. You could always do healthier sides too, such as corn on cob, baked beans or a dinner salad. Enjoy!
