BEST HAMBURGERS WITH SAUCE




BEST HAMBURGERS WITH SAUCE

Here is a delicious and easy hamburger recipe with a mayonnaise-based sauce, along the lines of McDonald’s Big Mac. The bigger hamburgers were great on my Sandwich Thins.  These Sandwich Thins are great as bread and, therefore, make good hamburger bun stand-ins.

4 lbs ground beef (1.8 kg)
3 tbsp Montreal Steak seasoning (45 mL)
1 onion, chopped
4 slices, cooked bacon, crumbled
  (reserve bacon fat)
Sauce:
1/cup mayonnaise
1/cup Greek yogurt, OR sour cream (60 mL)
1 tbsp mustard (15 mL)
1 tbsp low-carb ketchup (15 mL)
1 tsp crushed garlic (5 mL)
  (the bottled kind)
1/tsp paprika (2 mL)

In large bowl combine ground beef, Montreal Steak Seasoning, onion and cooked bacon bits.  Use two ice cream scoops per hamburger for very large hamburgers.  In two large frying pan, over medium heat, in some bacon fat, fry hamburgers on both sides for about 4 or 5 minutes each side.  They will still be pink in the middle.  Place in a 350°F (180°C) oven and bake 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the hamburgers (cut one open to check that the hamburgers are no longer pink inside for well done).

Sauce: In medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, garlic and paprika; mix well.
