Deluxe Onion Burgers

I served these fantastic deluxe onion burgers three different ways over three nights. Two were on buns, and one was bun-less. All three versions were absolutely fantastic. The patties have a nice kick to them, thanks to the spicy V8 juice and some sassy Russ & Franks BBQ sauce (substitute your favorite if you can’t find Russ & Franks). The onion soup mix gives them an almost meatloaf like flavor.

My first take on these burgers was topped with Swiss cheese, BBQ sauce, and sautéed mushrooms. Man was this ever one tasty burger. Nice and messy, too. Like I like them!

Then, I served them topped with BBQ sauce, Swiss and French fried onions.

Here’s the bun-less take of my deluxe onion burgers! Great comfort food!

Nice ‘N Spicy

Because of the V8 juice you can use fairly lean ground beef in these burgers without fear of them drying out. If you use spicy V8 you’ll get a wonderful kick to them too! If you don’t like the kick, just go with regular V8 and you’ll still have a wonderful dish!

Equipment

Ingredients

For the burgers

2 pounds ground beef
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
½ cup spicy V8 juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

For serving

6 hamburger buns unless going bun-less, of course
your favorite BBQ sauce
French fried onions or sauteed mushrooms or Cajun gravy, for topping

Instructions

Make the patties by combining all of the burger ingredients and then forming into 6 patties. Do not overwork the meat or it will fall apart.
Refrigerate patties for at least 30 minutes.
Grill burgers until done, but do not play with them on the grill. The more you move them around, the better the chances they’ll fall apart. Be gentle!
Serve as desired on buns or bunless, with your favorite toppings.

Notes

I like these open-faced with brown gravy over the tops!

Ranch Dressing Mix

It seems like forever that I’ve been searching for a replacement for those expensive packets of dried Ranch dressing mix you can buy at the store. Finally, I’ve found the perfect one. And the nice thing about making the mix at home? I can tweak it a bit for my own tastes. For me that means a bit more dill.

Dried Buttermilk For That Great Flavor

This recipe for Ranch dressing mix requires dry buttermilk. I found it near the canned and powdered regular milk in our grocery store. Although it wasn’t cheap, it’ll make a very big batch of dressing mix. That’ll more than make up for the cost versus the packaged stuff.
