Ingredients

  • 1 lbs 93/7 ground beef
  • 4 sandwich rolls
  • 4 slices reduced fat cheese
  • 1 whole onion
  • 4 tbsp reduced sugar ketchup
  • 4 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional) for grilled onions
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic (optional) for grilled onions

Instructions

Burgers

  • Add ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and sea salt to a large bowl. Mix thoroughly and create four 4oz patties.
  • Place burgers on grill between 350-375° F (try to stay in this range even though it can be difficult maintaining temperature when cover opens and closes).
  • Flip the burgers after 3-4 minutes and cook the other side for this same amount of time.
  • Remove burgers from grill and place on buns, before adding cheese and other toppings.

Caramelized Onions

  • Slice a 1/2 inch off the stem ends of the onions and roots off the root end. Cut them in half through the root end. Peel back the peels and lay the onion cut side down. Make angled cuts for desired thickness.
  • Add olive oil and minced garlic to a pan on medium high heat. Then add onion slices and stir around to further coat them with oil. Reduce heat to medium, or medium low.
  • Stir the onions every few minutes (keep an eye on this part). If you stir the onions too much they won't brown. And if you don't stir them they will burn. Remove from pan and set aside when they are a rich brown color.
