Go Big Red Recipe For December 29

[Roxy]

Tastiest Cheddar-Bacon Burgers:

 

 

2 lbs. lean ground beef

1 package instant dry onion-mushroom soup mix

1/4 chopped parsley or green onions

1/4 cup steak sauce

8 slices 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 bib lettuce leaves

1/2 cup ranch dressing or mayonnaise (I used homemade ranch)

8 slices cooked bacon

2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced

 

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 13-15 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patty reads 160 degrees F. Top each burger patty with cheese slice; cook just until cheese is melted.

Meanwhile, brush onion slices with olive oil. Add to grill last 5-8 minutes or cooking time for patties. To toast buns, place cut side down on grill during last 1-2 minutes of cooking time.

Layer buns with lettuce, ranch dressing, burger patties, bacon, tomato slices, and onion slices.
