Ingredients

• 2 dozen Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (these are great for their sweet and buttery taste, but other slider-sized buns or even hot dog buns cut in thirds work)
• 1-1/2 ponds ground beef
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup water with ice
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 6 slices American cheese
• 24 pickle slices
• ketchup

Season ground beef with salt and pepper and place loosely in a, 11 x 17″ baking dish. Add ice water and combine, pressing flat. Bake at 350 F for about 12 minutes until no longer pink (will shrink into one large patty). Cut beef into 24 squares. Meanwhile, sautee onions in butter on stove until softened.

It’s best to set up a little assembly line for putting the burgers together: Slice the rolls and on each, place a teaspoon of onions, a pickle, a burger square, one fourth a slice of cheese, and a squirt of ketchup. Stack on a platter if serving immediately, or wrap individually in tin foil if bringing to an event, or to save for later.

Additional Toppings:

None are needed, but some of our favorites include

Fried Onion Strings

Buffalo Mayo

In a pan on stove, combine 1 tablespoon butter with 2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce. Cook until hot, and then cool. Add this to 1 cup mayo, or a combination of 1/2 cup mayo and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt.

Chipotle Mayo

Add 1/2 can Chipotle chiles (diced up) with their sauce to 1 cup mayonnaise, or a combination of 1/2 cup mayo and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt.
