Katie Lee's Logan County Hamburgers
- 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 medium yellow onion, 1/2 grated, 1/2 thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 12 slices white bread
- 12 slices American cheese (optional)
- Mustard of your choice
- Ketchup
- Sliced tomatoes
- Pickles
Make the burgers: In a medium bowl, combine the beef, egg, grated onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix until combined. Form into 6 thin patties.
Spread the butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Heat a large heavy-duty skillet or griddle 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 6 slices of bread, butter side down. Top each with a slice of cheese (if using), some sliced onions, and a burger. Top with the remaining cheese (if using) and bread, butter side up. Cook the sandwiches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Serve with mustard, ketchup, tomatoes, pickles or any other desired hamburger toppings.
