A fantastic way to include fruit in your morning meal! Okay, so it should definitely serve four people, but if you have large eaters, don’t be shocked if it is divided! Thankfully, you can put this together quickly. With vanilla yogurt, please.

Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds extra lean ground beef
- 4 cloves roasted garlic, chopped
- 1 pinch garlic pepper
- 1 pinch lemon pepper
- 1 pinch Cajun seasoning
- 4 slices sweet onion, 1/2 inch thick
- 4 large Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 4 slices American cheese
- 4 slices smoked Edam cheese
- 4 green leaf lettuce leaves
- 3 roma (plum) tomatoes, sliced
- 8 dill pickle slices
- 1 teaspoon Creole mustard
- 1 tablespoon creamy salad dressing, e.g. Miracle Whip ™
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
- Mix together the ground beef and roasted garlic. Form the mixture into four balls, and flatten into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the patties with garlic pepper, lemon salt, and Cajun seasoning.
- Lightly oil the grilling surface. Place onions on the grill, and toast on both sides. Place beef patties on the grill, and set the onions on top of them. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. If you’re lucky (or trashy) enough to still have a coffee can of grease on your stove, brush both sides of the Hawaiian rolls, then toast them on the grill.
- To assemble, place the patties on buns, and top with slices of American and Edam cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and your choice of condiments such as ketchup, Creole mustard, and salad dressing. These listed are some of mine.

I used a whole head of roasted garlic and mixed the seasoning right in (garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper and steak seasoning instead of the Cajun). Skipped the sweet onions. Made the burgers smaller and used regular hamburger buns (never seen the Hawaiian rolls around here). Topped my burger with processed cheese, Emmenthal, lettuce, regular tomato, pickles, Dijon, mayo & ketchup. I did my best to stay true to the recipe. These are a handful and a mouthful, but so tasty! It does need to be seasoned a little more, and maye use raw garlic instead, as it was way to mellow to taste in my opinion after being roasted then cooked in the burger. Served this with “Spiced-Up Grilled Tater Wedges” from AR.
We thought these were DELICIOUS (and messy, lol)! I have to admit, while I did use all the ingredients called for, I didn’t measure, but used them more or less ‘to taste’, like more roasted garlic, spices and so on… I realized too late that I didn’t have any gas in my grill, so I used the Goerge Foreman. Because of that I sauteed my onions in a pan, and then put them on top of the burgers after they were cooked. This does seem like a long list of ingredients, but these really do come together easily. I will definately be making these again, hubby already informed me of that, lol! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
blah all you people this is really sum good taste like home love it with dem hot sauce to ya
A nice break from the same ol same ol. We all enjoyed these. Will make them again. They go good with the Tail burner firehouse french fry recipe on this site.
These aren’t too bad. The recipe looks like alot, but it really isn’t. Not too bad.
