Here's a little idea that i took from "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." I saw the other night that a guy put thinly sliced onions and pressed them into the burger before flipping them over. My mouth watered just watching this dude, but of course i did something extra with it. I decided to them southern style with chili, cheese, and slick yellow mustard on buttered toasted bread. An absolute delight. Here are the things you need.
1 1/2 lb 80/20 Ground Chuck
8 slices of White Sandwich Bread
Yellow Mustard
1 medium size yellow onion
4 slices of cheese
1 can of hot dog chili sauce
start with cooking the chili. Take 1/2 lb chuck and mix in can of chili sauce to make some good quick chili. I do this from time to time to save some time. Of course you can use my recipe for topping chili or4 you can short cut it and do it my way. Once you combine the beef and chili sauce. mash the meat with a potato masher and get it all broken down and let simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes on medium heat. Heat up a skillet on medium heat. Once pan is hot...sprinkle water from fingers into it and if it steams off and sizzles...you're good. Take remaining lb of meat and mix with about a 1/4 cup yellow mustard. Make 4 patties and make them kind of thick. Once you put them into the skillet, mash them down with your spatula. Right before you flip the burgers (approx. 8 minutes). Put thinly sliced onion on top of burgers and mash them into the meat with the spatula until onions become part of the burger. Flip them to the onion side and cook for another 8 minutes. Add cheese and allow to melt a little. brush bread with butter and toast lightly. Key is to put the buttered sides of bread on the inside of the sandwich. Put mustard on both sides of bread. Place burger on one slice, top with chili, and top off sandwich and you're done. Fix these with some oven roasted potatoes or fries and your golden. Enjoy them, i know I did
