HOW TO MAKE LIPTON ONION SOUP BURGERS
- COMBINE – In a large mixing bowl, gently mix together the ground beef, dry soup mix, water, and egg yolk.
- FORM – Divide into equal portions and form four patties. Make a divot in the middle of each one.
- COOK – Cook over medium heat in a hot skillet (or gas grill) for 4-5 minutes per side.
If desired, add a slice of cheese to the top of each burger during the last minute and cover the skillet with a lid. - SERVE – Place on buns and add mayo, ketchup, and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
You can store leftover burgers, unassembled, in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Place cooled patties in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap.
Reheat the patties in a skillet over low heat, in the microwave, or in an air fryer, then assemble your burgers.
PRO TIPS:
- To prevent the burgers from curling up on the edges as they cook, make an indentation in the middle of each patty. I like to use the back of a tablespoon, but you can use your thumb.
- For juicy burgers, just cook them until they are medium rare, or no more than 135°.
- If you aren’t sure how to tell if your burgers are done, use a meat thermometer and this meat temperature chart.
- Let the cooked patties sit for 3-4 minutes before serving to prevent the juice from leaking out. (I find this gives everyone just the right amount of time to prep their bun and add toppings.)
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, this recipe can easily be doubled to make 8 burgers. You will need a full packet of onion soup mix.
VARIATIONS:
- Use Worcestershire sauce or beef broth instead of water.
- We also enjoy these homemade burgers with a bit of black pepper added to the beef mixture or sprinkled on the patties.
- Instead of cheddar, you can use slices of American cheese, pepper jack, gruyere cheese, swiss cheese, or any cheese that melts well.
- BBQ sauce is also tasty in place of the ketchup or mayo.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH BURGERS:
- You can’t go wrong with baked french fries, tater tots, or potato salad.
- To balance out the meal with healthy veggies, add broccoli craisin bacon salad, or green beans almondine.
- Fresh fruit like watermelon is extra refreshing on a hot day.
