I’ve had my eye on this ‘Liberty’ Burger for quite a while…I first saw it on our local Smashburger menu a few years ago. I don’t think it’s there anymore; but I came across some notes about it recently and decided that this would be the perfect burger to make to help celebrate our ‘Liberty’ – you know, Independence Day and all that! So here’s my take on it…

The Liberty Burger
1 red onion
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Montreal Steak seasoning
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon French’s Spicy Brown Deli Mustard
Nabisco Sharp Cheddar Easy Cheese
2-4 Pretzel Burger Buns
butter
lettuce

Peel the onion and cut it into round slices. Heat a grill pan on medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Grill the onion slices 10-15 minutes until tender; turning occasionally and lowering the temperature as needed. Remove onions from grill pan. In a mixing bowl combine the lean ground beef with the steak seasoning, onion powder, ground mustard, salt and Worcestershire sauce. Shape into burgers and grill on the grill pan ~5 minutes each side. Slice the pretzel buns in half and slather each side with a little butter. When burgers are cooked to desired doneness, remove from pan and place on a platter. In the same grill pan place the sliced burger buns butter-side down and heat until grill marks form. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise and the spicy brown mustard. To serve: slather the mayo-mustard mixture on the grilled pretzel buns; layer with the lettuce, burgers, grilled red onions, sharp cheddar easy cheese, a squirt of spicy brown deli mustard and top with pretzel bun. Serve immediately. Makes 2 large burgers or 4 nice sized burgers.

Enjoy!
