- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons onion flakes
- 2 -3 tablespoons milk
Steps
-
Mix all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes (so the dehydrated onion can soften).

Cut small 1" circles out of a sesame seed bun (or cut into cubes). Lightly spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with little bit of seasoned salt.
-
Place the "croutons" on a baking sheet and bake about 8 minutes or until crisp.
-
Brown ground beef with onion powder and garlic powder until no pink remains. Drain fat and season with seasoned salt and pepper to taste.

Place ¼ of the lettuce in each bowl. Top with beef, pickles, onions, cheese, and croutons.

Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
