Recipe from: Pampered Chef
The original recipe is from Pampered Chef, but I made a few modifications to fit the ingredients I had available.
Ingredients:
4 Sesame seed hamburger bun tops
1 small red onion, divided
1 tomato
1 lb 95% lean ground beef
1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
3/4 cup ketchup
1 Tbsp yellow mustard
8 cups (or one whole head of lettuce) thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice bun tops into 1/4 inch strips. Arrange in a single layer on baking pan. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
2. Cut onion in half crosswise. Slice half of the onion crosswise into thin rings using a mandolin or knife. Cut tomato into quarters and slice crosswise. Set onion and tomato aside.
3. Cook ground beef over medium-high heat 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink, break the beef into crumbles. Meanwhile, chop remaining onion half using a food chopper. Finely dice pickles using a knife. In a medium bowl combine chopped onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard. Add cooked beef; mix well using a spatula.
4. To serve, arrange lettuce on a plate. Spoon beef mixture over lettuce. Top with cheese, tomatoes and sliced onion. Arrange hamburger bun croutons around edge of platter and serve immediately.

All the ingredients except the bread. |
One pound of home-grown lean beef. |
I didn't have sesame seed buns so I used sliced bread. I cut it into slices and baked it in the oven for 8 minutes. |
The browned lean ground beef. |
This steer was apparently really lean, because there wasn't any fat drippings when I drained the beef. |
Pickle, onion, ketchup, and mustard mixture. |

The final product! A deluxe cheeseburger salad! |
