  • 1 small onion, sliced thinly
  • Cabela’s Burger seasoning

  3. Divide meat into 12 equal portions and roll each in the palms of your hands to form a ball
  4. Mix together Mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup and lemon juice and set aside
  5. When griddle surface is hot, place 1-2 Tb butter down and top with a handful of sliced onions. Repeat at least 6” apart until you have 12.
  6. Once the onions have cooked down for a minute or two, place a ball of meat over the center and cover with a piece of parchment paper and, using heavy press or spatula, press down until the patty is flat and thin. Repeat with all 12 burgers.
  7. After the patties are more than halfway cooked, use a spatula to scrape the underside and flip each one
  8. Once the patties are almost fully cooked, add a slice of cheese to each and close the lid for 1 minute and move the patties to a cooler side of griddle
  9. Using the grease on the griddle, toast the buns and pull off griddle.
  10. Apply a good amount of sauce to the bottom buns, your choice of lettuce, tomato, pickles, and top with patty and top bun.
