Difficulty: EASY
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Serving Size: 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sriracha hot chili sauce
- 1 1/2 tbs lemon juice
- 2 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups chopped onions
- 12 thick white bread slices
- 6 tbs butter
- 18 slices of american cheese
- dill pickle slices
Directions:
- To make the mayo, simply stir together the 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Shape ground beef into 6 patties, then cook 3 patties in 1 tbs hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat about 4 minutes on each side.
- Remove the 3 patties and repeat with the remaining 3 patties until all 6 are cooked to your desired temp. Remove the patties then saute the chopped onions in the hot drippings (BRILLIANT!) on medium-high heat for 8 minutes or until tender.
- Next, liberally coat 1 side of each bread slice with butter, turn the bread slices over and liberally coat each bread slice with hot mayo.
- Then layer the patty, 3 cheese slices, grilled onions and the pickles between bread slices, with the buttered sides facing out.
- In a clean skillet over medium-high heat, grill the sandwiches, in batches until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
