Ingredients
2
lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1
package instant dry onion-mushroom soup mix
1/4
cup chopped parsley or green onions
1/4
cup steak sauce
8
slices (1 oz each) white Cheddar cheese
1
large red onion, cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch-thick slices
Olive oil
8
onion burger buns, split
8
small Bibb lettuce leaves
1/2
cup ranch dressing or mayonnaise
8
slices cooked bacon
2
medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
Preparation
Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large bowl, mix ground beef, soup mix, parsley and steak sauce until well blended. Shape mixture into 8 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
Place patties on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 13 to 15 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F. Top each burger patty with cheese slice (if desired, cut in half diagonally); cook just until cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, brush onion slices with olive oil. Add to grill last 5 to 8 minutes of cooking time for patties. To toast buns, place cut side down on grill during last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking time.
Layer buns with lettuce, ranch dressing, burger patties, bacon, tomato slices and onion slices.
