Route 66 Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 leanness)
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• Salt and pepper
• 2 slices Cheddar, cut into 8 squares
• 8 dinner-size potato rolls

Directions

Heat canola oil in a saute pan and cook onions over medium heat until they caramelize.

Heat grill. Form ground beef into 8 (2-inch) patties. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and grill burgers until medium rare, remove to a platter and top with cheddar cheese slices to allow melting.

Use a 2-inch circle cutter (or biscuit cutter) to cut the potato rolls into circles. Place burgers in rolls and top burgers with caramelized onion.
