BBQ Burgers

So I bought a few fresh onions from the store when I made a (failed) attempt at turkey meatballs. I decided I needed to use it somehow so it wouldn't go to waste. Then I came up with this idea for burgers AND to freeze the rest of my onions. :)



1/2 lb ground beef (I used 85/15 fat content)
4 tablespoons of Spicy Honey bbq sauce
1/2 onion chopped obnoxiously fine in the food chopper
2 tablespoons of Steakhouse Grinder seasoning mix.
2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese

Add the onion and seasoning to the meat and completely mix together. Separate the meat in 1/2 and make them into balls. Squish the balls until they make a nice even patty shape. :) Stick them on that pan! Let them heat thoroughly. I like my burgers well done so I usually wait a good 4 minutes per side. ONLY FLIP YOUR BURGERS ONCE!!! It makes sure that each side is cooked evenly and that your center is where you want it at.

After your burgers are about 99% cooked, you add two tablespoons of Spicy Honey bbq sauce to your burgers each. I generally put one tablespoon on one side, flip, then the rest on the other side. I cook these for maybe 30 seconds more to warm the bbq sauce and let it caramelize a bit on the outside of the burgers.

It looks gruesome but trust me, it's delicious :)

Afterwards, stick the cheese on it and whatever other toppings. I used a little bit more bbq sauce on the bun for an extra zing. I heated up some rice in a bag and voila! Dinner is done! :)
