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 lid 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.
ONION BURGERS
A honey and mustard sauce glazes the onion slices
as they cook alongside these delicious burgers. For
optimal sweetness, select Vidalia or Walla Walla
onions.
Makes 4 open face burgers.
