1. Prepare white or yellow sweet onion by slicing in
thick slices, place in plastic bag or glass jar with
ice water, seal and refrigerate until ready to use.
This makes the onions very crisp and juicy.
2. Slice a vine-ripened tomato into thick slices. Mix
sour cream, chopped green onions, bread crumbs,
worcestershire sauce and lemon pepper seasoning. Mix
this in with the ground meat until combined well.
Shape into 4 patties.
3. Cooking the hamburger patties: GRILL: Place meat on
grill over hot coals and cook to desired doneness,
turning only once or twice. BROIL: Place meat in
broiler pan; broil to desired doneness. MICROWAVE:
Place meat in a microwave-safe dish and cover loosely
with plastic wrap (made for microwave purposes); vent
one edge slightly. Microwave on highest power for 3
minutes. Turn patties over and cook 3 minutes longer
or until desired doneness. Rotate the dish 1/4 turn
every 1-2 minutes. Drain well.
4. Mix the mayonnaise, mustard and catsup. Blend well.
5. To serve, divide the catsup mixture evenly on the
warmed hamburger buns, top with a meat patty, tomato
slice, onion slice and shredded lettuce. Also good
with alfalfa or radish sprouts.
