Instructions
Grilled Patty
- Fire up the grill. I prefer charcoal. If using charcoal, make sure to wait until coals are completely grey.
- Form ground beef into 4 round patties. Using thumb, press in the middle to make an indentation so edges are a little bigger. This helps in cooking evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Season each side of each patty. Drizzle each side of each patty with vegetable oil.
- Grill patties making sure to get a nice browned crust on each side. After you have flipped to grill second side of patty, add 1/4 of the onion/mushroom mixture on each patty and top with 2 slices of sharp white cheddar cheese. Cover and cook until cheese is melted.
- Serve on toasted sourdough sandwich rounds that have been smeared with special sauce and top with 1/4 of the micro greens.
Special Sauce
- Blend all ingredients together until smooth.
Onions and Mushrooms
- heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add oil and half of the butter. Add onion rings and cook, stirring frequently until softened. Add mushrooms and stir together. Add remaining butter. Cook for about 5 minutes or until nice and caramelized.
