Classic Original Burger

Ingredients:

2 Lb Certified Angus Beef Brand® Ground Beef (80/20 or 75/25 (preferred)
2 TB Mr. Frank’s Kitchen Original Seasoning Blend
1/4 cup finely minced onion
Burger Buns of choice

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, gently hand mix the ground beef, minced onion, and Mr. Frank’s Kitchen Original Seasoning until thoroughly combined.
2. Hand form burger into large balls, then place on a flat surface lined with wax paper or foil and using the back of a pan, gently press down to flatten to 1/4 inch thickness.
3. Preheat grill or pan (cast iron preferred) to medium high heat.
4. Place burgers on grill or in pan and cook 3-4 min on each side or until desired doneness. Avoid pressing down on the burgers during the cooking process. If cheese is desired, add to the burger once flipped.
5. Butter the insides of your burger bun of choice (Mr. Frank’s Kitchen prefers a good crusty ciabatta style bun to contain the juiciness of the burger, or a quality brioche bun) and toast bun on the grill or in a pan.
6. Put cooked burger onto bun and top with prepared accoutrements. You can do traditional burger toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, or a bit more upscale such as sauteed onions, mushrooms, pastrami bacon, marinated red peppers, Mr. Frank’s Kitchen Mediterranean goat cheese with micro greens.
