I've learned that the best way to handle onions in the griddle scenario is to pile 'em on and adjust to taste afterward, when plating.

Two reasons: 1) onions vary in strength/oniony-ness; and 2) you don't have to "chase & scrape" around the griddle to retrieve all that you started with (they get scattered at flipping time.)

Oh yeah, a mix of stone ground and yellow mustard + hand-sliced Vlasic "Original Whole Dill" pickles (much better than pre-cut ones for some reason) FTW

Afraid I've never tolerated the taste of dill. Now, jalapeno relish might be another matter. ;)

Dammit! I forgot I had a jar of sliced jalapenos in the fridge when I made those burgers a few hours ago. :LOL:

A bit of tangy heat definitely tops burgers off like nothing else.

How the HELL did I forget???!!!

I guess the only fix is to make 'em again tomorrow. :col:

George, this looks amazing. It's no surprise that someone with your skill also has mastery in the kitchen. Cooking is also a pleasure I enjoy when I have the time. It would be wonderful to someday sit around a large table with our mutual friends and enjoy a meal, and perhaps even a pipe.

Had this recipe on my mind these past few months and finally gave it a shot, using much more shredded onion than usual, though apparently not as much as George used. Improvised a bit. The results were very, very good. Next time I'll see how thin I can get the patties.
