    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine beef, salt and pepper. With wet hand, gently form into 4 equal patties. Set aside.
  2. In another large bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients. Set aside.
  3. Cook hamburger patties on a grill to medium doneness, around 4-5 minutes per side. After flipping the patties, add the onion rings to the grill. Cook onion for the remaining 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Allow patties to rest for 5-10 minutes then cut each patty into 16 bite-size pieces.
