ONION BURGERS
A honey and mustard sauce glazes the onion slices as they cook alongside these delicious burgers. For optimal sweet-
ness, select Vidalia or Walla Walla onions.
Makes 4 open face burgers.
Ingredients
2
large sweet onions, sliced (12 to 16 ounces)
2
tablespoons margarine or melted butter
2
teaspoons dry mustard
2
teaspoons honey
1
pound lean ground beef
1/4
teaspoon salt
1/8
teaspoon pepper
4
slices Texas toast
4
lettuce leaves
4
tomato slices
Preparing Onions
Place onions in a cooking pan or on a small piece of aluminum foil. Combine melted margarine, mustard and honey, then
drizzle over onions. Cover pan with lid or fold up edges of foil and seal with double fold to completely enclose onions –
leaving space for steam to build. Place pan or foil packet on grill directly over medium heat for 15 minutes with the grill
hood up.
Preparing Burgers
While onions are cooking, combine ground beef, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and mix well. Shape mixture into four
3/4 inch burger patties and add to grill, directly over heat. Grill burgers along with onions for about 5 minutes, then turn
burgers. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes more or until no pink remains in meat, and onions are tender. To serve, toast both sides
of Texas toast on grill. Then top each slice of Texas toast with a burger, lettuce, tomato and onion. Sprinkle with pepper if
desired.
