Secret Ingredient Hamburgers

We were in Port Royal, South Carolina visiting Mom and Richard. We stayed in this house called “The Big Pink”. Tall Cool One and I were in charge of din-din one night and we decided to make hamburgers. I told Mom it had a secret ingredient and asked her and Richard if they minded having onions. Both said they didn’t mind. When we sat down to eat, Mom had a fit because they had onions in them. Richard said, “Put some ketchup on it, Mildred.” She ended up giving the hamburger to Richard; the onions are optional.

Ingredients
1½ lb ground 85% beef
1 med onion, diced (optional)
¼ cup Italian style bread crumbs
1 egg
1 pkg Lipton Onion Soup mix
¼ tsp garlic powder
4 hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard, relish, pickles

Directions

Combine the burger, diced onion, bread crumbs, onion soup, garlic powder and egg and mix well. Form meat into 4 good size burgers. Grill over medium heat for 8 mins per side. Serve on burger buns with whichever condiments you choose.

…or as Richard would say, “Put some ketchup on it, Mildred.”
