Ingredients
- ¼ cup dehydrated onion
- 1 cup water divided
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 dinner rolls (soft and fluffy), sliced in half like hamburger buns
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- 12 dill pickle hamburger slices
Instructions
- Soak the dehydrated onions in ½ cup of warm water with bouillon.
- Place the ground beef, salt, and 1/2 cup of water in a food processor. Process for a few seconds, until the mixture is well blended and starting to become paste-like in consistency.
- Cover the bottom of an 11x13-inch jelly roll pan with plastic wrap. Place the meat in the middle of the pan, cover with another piece of plastic wrap, and roll out the meat to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Remove the top piece of plastic wrap and cut the meat into 3x3-inch squares, yielding 12 square patties. Leave the patties on the tray, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer until partially frozen, but not solid.
- Spread the reconstituted onions across the bottom of a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Place the semi-frozen patties on top of the onions.
- Top the patties with the bottom bun. Place the top bun on top of the bottom bun. Cover the pan and allow the burgers to steam until done without turning.
- After the burgers are cooked, use a spatula to remove them from the skillet. Top each burger with onions, a dill pickle slice, and mustard.
