Lauren's Kitchen: French Onion Burgers

French Onion Burgers

I loooooove things that are French Onion. My blog contains FO risotto, chicken casserole, pork chops, mac and cheese... it's just yum.

So of course, when The Rookie Chef posted this recipe for FO Burgers, I was all about it.

The recipe did not disappoint at all. I used a whole packet of FO mix even though I only used a pound of turkey. I also didn't mix the dip in with the meat; I spread it on the bun instead of ketchup. I would for sure make these again!

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef (I used just 1 lb of ground turkey)
1 envelope (about 1 1/2 ounces) onion soup mix
8 ounces French onion dip (1 cup)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/8teaspoon pepper
Buns and the other fixings you desire

Fire up your grill!

Mix all ingredients (minus buns and additional toppings) and shape into 8 patties

Grill patties to the degree of wellness that you prefer

Throw on a bun and top with lettuce, tomato, or whatever you choose!

I've made burgers using french onion mix before, and it's a very good way to make burgers.

Before my wedding in 2003, my idea of cooking was Kraft mac and cheese. My mother and my mother-in-law even left me several boxes of the blue box on my counter the day we returned from our honeymoon. I believe a few showed up in the wishing well at my bridal shower, too.

Once I became a Mrs, however, I figured I'd need to step it up in the kitchen.

I rarely prepared anything from scratch, though; it was frozen stuff chicken and rice in a pouch all the way.

About a year (and 20lbs) later, I decided that something needed to change in the kitchen. I went on a diet and lost the weight, but knew I needed to lose the habits too.

Armed with Rachael Ray cookbooks and the internet, I slowly began to expand my repertoire. I joined an online cooking forum and subscribed to about eleventy billion cooking blogs.

Cooking remains a challenge, however, as two sweet little boys joined our family over the last few years. Coupled with my full time job, I look for meals that are healthy and easy.

I also discovered a love for photography along the way, and while I'm about as unprofessional behind the camera as they come, I really enjoy honing my skills on my dinner - mainly because it can't run away like my two wild boys can.

I love maintaining this blog, and I hope you like visiting.
