French Onion Burgers

Topped with Swiss Cheese and a bit of red onion, these are one of Jake's favorite kinds of home made burger. I often make them ahead and freeze the patties on a wax paper lined cookie sheet, then pop them in a zip lock to save for another day. Usually I thaw them in the microwave before cooking on my stove top. Yummy!

Adapted From Canadian Living (honestly I can't remember the issue)

1 egg, beaten
1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 onion, grated
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp wine vinegar

In a large bowl, mix together the egg, dry bread crumbs, salt, pepper, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar. Mix in the ground beef. Shape into four patties (I usually get five because I make smallish burgers) and place on greased grill over med-high heat. Cook, turning once, about 10 minutes or until thermometer inserted in center reads 160 F.

Slip onto buns and top with Swiss cheese and and slices of Spanish onion.
