I served these fantastic onion burgers 3 different ways over 3 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 sauteed mushrooms.
Then, I served them topped with BBQ sauce, Swiss and French fried onions.
Here’s the bun-less version. Great comfort food!
Because of the V8 juice you can use fairly lean ground beef in these burgers without fear of them drying out.

Ingredients
For the burgers
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
- 1/2 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.
