1/4 pound ground beef (chuck)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
1 hamburger bun and some butter
Mix all ingredients except the bun. Lightly pat into a burger about 1/2 inch thick. Fry the patty on the grill or in an iron skillet over medium high heat for a few minutes then turn over and cook a few minutes more. Please don’t over cook it.
Lightly butter the top and bottom of a bun, place on grill until golden brown (or toast it). Spread mustard on bottom half, pile with chopped onions, pickles and meat patty. Spread mayonnaise or mustard on top half of bun. Pat the top of the bun with a spatula loaded with hamburger grease. Provide lettuce, tomato, and catsup if desired.
