French Onion Burgers
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef, 7% fat
1 (1-ounce) packet onion soup mix
1/2 cup roasted red peppers
4 (1-ounce) slices Swiss cheese
4 Bakery French hamburger rolls
Steps
1. Preheat grill. Combine beef and soup mix in medium bowl, mixing only until blended. Do not overmix. Form into four 1/2-inch thick patties about 1 inch larger in diameter than buns. (This allows for some shrinkage.) Grill 5–6 minutes. Wash hands.
2. Turn burgers. Divide peppers and place on burgers; top with cheese slices. Cook 4–5 minutes more until internal temperature of burgers reaches 165°F.
3. Slice rolls in half. Place 1 burger on bottom half of each roll. Top with your favorite burger toppings, assemble and serve.
