I came up with this recipe one day when I was just screwing around with different flavors. The family loved it so it's now part of this site.

Lets start with the egg mix. In a medium mixing bowl combine the following.

4 Eggs
1/2 Cup Zesty Italian Dressing
1/8 Cup Reduced Sodium Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbsp. Chopped Rosemary
1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
1 Tsp. Coarse Ground Pepper

 Once all the ingredients are in the bowl, thoroughly mix the ingredients. Set the bowl aside.

Next we will mix the ground beef. Place 6 lbs. 80/20 ground beef into a large mixing bowl. Using your fingers poke multiple holes in the ground beef. Pour the egg mix over the ground beef. Next add the egg mix and 1/2 of a sweet onion finely chopped.

Once all the ingredients have been added it's time to mix. Put on some food grade gloves and work the ingredients into the ground beef. Mix thoroughly.

Once the ground beef has been mixed, start forming your patties. Once the patties are formed, cover them and place them in the fridge to rest 1 hour minimum. This allows the rub and other ingredients to meld with the ground beef.

This is a great time to pre-heat your grill or cooker. These burgers can be grilled or slow cooked at 225-250 degrees on a smoker/Grill. In this cook I'm cooking the burgers on the Scottsdale Santa Maria style cooker by Arizona BBQ Outfitters. I used the Argentine grates and cooked over a Oak wood fire.

Prior to cooking the beef patties we need to sauté the onions. In this cook I used a cast iron skillet over an oak would fire. You can easily do this on your stove top. Heat the skillet and add 1/2 stick unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted add 1 1/2 medium sweet onions sliced into rings. Pepper to taste. Frequently stir the onions so they do not burn. We want to caramelize the onions. Ones they have caramelized add 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes and 8 oz. of Savory Beef Home Style Gravy. I picked this gravy up at our local Safeway grocer. Cook long enough to heat the gravy. Remove the onions from the skillet and place in a bowl for later.

Next it's time to cook the burgers. Place the beef patties on your grates over a hot fire. You should be able to hold your hand over the grates for no longer then 3 seconds. This is the perfect grate temp. Cook the burgers about 6 minutes per side or until done to your liking. I shoot for 150 - 160 degrees internal temp.

Once you flip the burgers and they have cooked about 4 minutes add slices of cheddar cheese. Once the cheese has melted remove the burgers from the grill.

Now it's time to build the burgers. I used Kaiser Roll buns with ample mayonnaise, Wickles relish, Pepperoncini's, Ketchup leaf lettuce and plenty of them onion's!

Build it the way you like it of course. The burgers should be extremely juicy and tender. 

I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for viewing!
