I Want a Hamburger!

"I'm going to run to Sonic and grab a hamburger really quick."-My loving husband of 5 years.
"What's wrong with the ground sirloin I have in the fridge and the thin buns?"-Me in my "patient" voice.
"I just want a hamburger"-He says.
"I will make you one."-I say, to which I am answered by a throwing down of socks, shoes and a shallow "Fine" (with a few choice other words but who wants to get into all that?)

This ever happen to you? This is one of the most frustrating things for me! I have loads of food in the fridge, I cook CONSTANTLY (hard to believe I realize) and he wants to go eat SONIC (which is a trans fat laden fast food joint if you didn't know)???? I challenge you to go look at the nutritional facts on that place... you won't ever eat there again. 
So I give myself a challenge to create a hamburger than will have my husband praising my every step instead of tossing stones at me as I cook... and here is the beautiful creation that had him licking his fingers and asking for more.

The ONION BURGER!

Now I admit it, this one is the one I made for me. (and it was, by far the BEST hamburger I've had in a LONG time). But I made two for him.  It's simple, delicious and extremely satisfying!
Here is what you'll need:

• 4-6 oz. (per patty) of ground sirloin or 93/7 ground beef.. you could use ground turkey too
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup (per patty, yes per patty) THINLY sliced onion
• Shredded Mozzarella cheese (1-2 tbsp per patty)
• pepper to taste
• sea salt to taste
• worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp per patty
• Dijon Mustard, to taste
• lettuce, to taste
• tomato, to taste
• whole wheat buns or thin buns, or no buns whatever works 

1. Throw the meat in a bowl and season with the pepper, sea salt and sauce, really mix it in.
2. Preheat a skillet or grill to medium heat and spray with olive oil cooking spray
3. Place the patty on the skillet and begin to brown one side
4. when that side is getting close to done take the onion and mash it into the beef with the spatula, put it on top of the meat and mash down with the spatula until the meat flattens a bit and the onion stays put.
5. flip (some of the onion will come out and that is ok) and brown the other side-don't over cook it!
6. Spray your buns with spray butter or olive oil cooking spray and heat them on the grill
7. get your cheese and other extras ready.
8. flip the patty back over and top with the cheese
9. put the dijon mustard in the buns and then start layering your stuff!

Dig in and enjoy a simple but yumm-O hamburger made AT HOME with quality meat AND without the cost of a fast food, gas to go get the low qaulity food and of course all the plastics you throw away in packaging!
