Ingredients

4 servings
  • 2 hamburger buns ( or 1 cup prepared croutons)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce (or romaine lettuce, washed and chopped)
  • 3 dill pickles (sliced)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cubed processed cheese)
  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion (or 2 tablespoons dehydrated onion flakes soaked in hot water to rehydrate*)
  • salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons French dressing (or Heinz Chili Sauce or ketchup)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickles
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons onion flakes
  • 2 -3 tablespoons milk

Steps

  1. Mix all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes (so the dehydrated onion can soften).

  2. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  3. 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.

  4. Place the "croutons" on a baking sheet and bake about 8 minutes or until crisp.

  5. Brown ground beef with onion powder and garlic powder until no pink remains. Drain fat and season with seasoned salt and pepper to taste.

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

  7. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
