Logan County Hamburgers

By Tallon

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 medium yellow onion, half grated, the other half thinly sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 12 slices white bread
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 12 slices American cheese (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine beef, egg, grated onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined. Form into thin patties.

Spread butter onto one side of each slice of bread.

Heat a large heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Drain the grease from the skillet.

In the same skillet, place six slices of bread, butter-side down. Top each with a slice of cheese, if desired, some onions, and a burger. Top with remaining slices of cheese and bread, butter-side up. Cook each sandwich until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Serve with mustard, ketchup, pickles, or any other desired hamburger toppings.
