Zesty Onion Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the mayonnaise, pickled jalapenos, brine, mustard and garlic together in a small bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Combine the chuck and brisket in a medium bowl and using 2 forks, "pull" the meat apart, breaking up any clumps and combining the two meats together. This will seem counterintuitive but it will blend the meats together without compacting them. Divide into 4 equal portions and form balls (about the size of tennis balls) being careful not to compact or overwork the meat -- do not form patties.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper; cook, tossing occasionally, until golden browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the sugar and toss until caramelized, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
• Increase the heat to high and heat the same skillet until very hot. Add the remaining oil (or 1 tablespoon oil, if working in batches), swirling to coat.
• Working in batches if necessary, place balls in the skillet and smash flat with a metal spatula using the handle of a wooden spoon to press down on the spatula to form 4-inch patties (you want to see craggy edges). Season liberally with salt and pepper and cook, undisturbed, until the outer edges are brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the patties, season with salt and pepper and top each patty with a slice of cheese. Cook until the cheese droops and the burgers are medium-rare, about 1 minute.
• Serve the patties on the toasted buns with the spicy special sauce, griddled onions, lettuce and tomatoes.

Steps:

• Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Leave it there for 5 minutes. Loosely gather a handful of ground beef and slip it into the pan. Repeat 6 times. The burgers should be freeform lumps.
• With the side of a spatula, push the burgers into a semblance of a round. After about a minute, pile on all the onions and then, with as much force as you can manage, smash the onions into the meat. Again, work the sides of the patties into a semblance of a round. Cook another minute and then flip. Season with salt. Smash the burgers again, hard.
• Place burger on bottom half of the bun and spread with mustard. Spread the cheese on top half of the bun and place on the burger.

Steps:

• Add first 14 ingredients in large bowl and mix with hands until thoroughly mixed.
• Form into 5 patties and put quarter size dents in the middle of them with your fingers to keep from shrinking.
• In large skillet heat olive oil (divide oil in 2 if you are doing two batches) and place formed patties separated from each other.
• Place onion slices in skillet around the hamburger patties, and cook until tender.
• Cook patties 5 minutes on each side before flipping and continue to cook until done.
• Place hamburger patties on toasted buns and add a sliced tomato to each sandwich. Top burgers with sauteed onion slices. Dress with ketchup and mustard, or horseradish and Dijon.
• Place pickle between zesty oven fries and spicy onion burgers and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef and celery over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
• Add the soup, water, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Serve on buns.
