THE TWENTY DOLLAR BURGER

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion softens and begins to turn brown, about 8 minutes. Scrape onion into a large bowl. Add yogurt, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, mustard powder, garlic powder, horseradish, parsley, cilantro, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and hot sauce. Whisk together until smooth. Mix in the ground beef until evenly blended with the yogurt mixture. Cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Shape mixture in to 6 patties 1/2 inch thick, and 5 inches across.
• Grill burgers until no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes per side.

• Arrange 3 or 4 bread& butter pickles slices on the bottom bun.
• Arrange lettuce on pickles followed by the tomato slices and red onion.
