1/2 cup Sour cream
3 x Green onions -- chopped,
With tops
3 tbl Bread crumbs

1 x Yellow onion -- 4
Slices/hamburger
2 tsp Mustard
1 tbl Mayonnaise
1 tbl Catsup
Method :
1. Prepare white or yellow sweet onion by slicing in thick slices, place in
plastic bag or glass jar with ice water, seal and refrigerate until ready to
use. This makes the onions very crisp and juicy.
2. Slice a vine-ripened tomato into thick slices. Mix sour cream, chopped green
onions, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce and lemon pepper seasoning. Mix this
in with the ground meat until combined well. Shape into 4 patties.
3. Cooking the hamburger patties: GRILL: Place meat on grill over hot coals and
cook to desired doneness, turning only once or twice. BROIL: Place meat in
broiler pan; broil to desired doneness. MICROWAVE: Place meat in a
microwave-safe dish and cover loosely with plastic wrap (made for microwave
purposes); vent one edge slightly. Microwave on highest power for 3 minutes.
Turn patties over and cook 3 minutes longer or until desired doneness. Rotate
the dish 1/4 turn every 1-2 minutes. Drain well.
4. Mix the mayonnaise, mustard and catsup. Blend well.
5. To serve, divide the catsup mixture evenly on the warmed hamburger buns, top
with a meat patty, tomato slice, onion slice and shredded lettuce. Also good
with alfalfa or radish sprouts.
