Time 15m

Yield 1 burger or cheeseburger

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
2 teaspoons boiling water
1/8 lb ground beef (I have used extremely lean ground beef for this, like 5% fat kind)
1 plain hamburger bun (I use Hot Dog/Hamburger Buns/Rolls/Cinnamon Buns Dough Cycle A.b.m.)
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard (American yellow)
1 dill pickle, slice (sour kind, not sweet)
1 slice American cheese (I have used those plastic cover cheese singles with good success if other American Cheese is unavail)

Steps:

Mix the dried onion with the boiling water and let sit until re hydrated and no longer dry & crunchy.
Roll ground beef into a ball and press flat on waxed paper until about 1/8 inch thick.
Brown faces of bun in a dry frying pan over medium heat. Remove bun and cook burger in the same pan for 2 min per side, salting each side lightly during cooking.
On the top bun-half spread the ketchup, mustard, and onion, in the order, and top with the pickle slice.
put the beef patty on the bottom bun and quickly slap the top and bottom together. Microwave the burger on high for 10-15 seconds. FOR CHEESEBURGERS: follow the above recipe, but add a slice of American cheese on top of the beef patty in the final assembly. Microwave for 15 seconds on high to help steam the bun and simulate being wrapped in paper.

Time 4m

Yield 4 burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 hamburger buns (i use the big italian artisan ones so they fit the big burgers)
4 veggie burgers (yves makes a great one)
4 teaspoons mustard
4 tablespoons ketchup
4 kraft 2% american cheese singles
4 dill pickle slices (each cut in 3 pieces)
6 tablespoons white onions (finely minced, preferably chilled)

Steps:

spread the ketchup on the bottom of the buns, top with onions, then burgers, cheese, pickles, then mustard. for some reason the order of toppings changes the taste.
microwave the whole mess until cheese melts and burger is warm. good to take with for lunches.
serve with coke and fries for the full experience :P remember when planning servings that most veggie burgers are a healthy size and not the tiny hockey pucks of micky dee's.
