Dixie Drippin's Pepper and Onion Burgers
If you don't like the peppers and onions, leave them out and you will still have a great-tasting, juicy burger!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chuck or lean ground beef
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Dixie Drippin's Seasoning
- Dixie Drippin's Sauce
- Cheese your favorite
- Buns
Instructions
Combine beef, onions, peppers and seasoning to your taste. Shape into 1-inch patties. Press your thumb in the middle to make an indentation, so the patties will even up as they shrink a little. Cook over a medium or medium-low heat 5 to 6 minutes each side, covered, on whatever you choose, grill, griddle, or skillet. We prefer ours medium well. The peppers and onions and ground beef keep the ground chuck from being dry and add a wonderful flavor. In last the last two minutes of cooking, shake sauce well and spoon on to burger. Add cheese, just long enough to melt.- Butter your buns and toast.
- Add your favorite toppings: bacon, tomato, avocado, Fried Jalapenos, Fried Red Peppers, onion rings, mac-n-cheese, pineapple, etc!
Notes
How long per side?
Here's the rule of thumb:
Rare – 3 minutes or internal temperature of 120 to 125 degrees
Medium Rare – 4 minutes per side or internal temp of 130 to 135 degrees
Medium - 5 minutes per side or internal temp of 140 to 145 degrees
Medium Well – 6 minutes per side or internal temperature of 150 to 155 degrees
Well – 7 minutes per side or internal temperature of 160 degrees. Some also prefer a higher temperature to get a crisper outside.
