  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppered seasoned salt
  • 1 small sweet onion, cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 4 burger buns, split

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In medium bowl, mix beef, parsley, 2 tablespoons of the dressing and the peppered seasoned salt. Shape mixture into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • 2
    Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F. Add onion slices to grill for last 8 to 10 minutes of cooking, brushing with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and turning once, until crisp-tender.
  • 3
    In small bowl, toss lettuce, remaining 1/4 cup dressing and the cheese. Layer lettuce mixture, burger and onion in each bun.

  • Avoid overmixing the ground beef mixture or the cooked burgers will be dense and heavy.
  • If you dampen your hands with water before forming hamburger patties, the meat won't stick to your hands.
  • Avoid pressing down on the hamburger patties with a spatula while they're grilling--you'll squeeze out the flavorful juices!
