How to Make All-American Burger

  1. Step 1

    Lightly coat a grill rack or broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray and preheat to medium-high (400°F).

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, parsley, garlic, Tabasco hot sauce, oregano, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Form beef into 4 patties (4 oz each) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Grill onion slices, about 2 minutes per side, until onions are softened. Remove from heat and set aside. Grill burgers, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until cooked to your preference. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. If desired, lightly toast the burger buns by lowering grill to medium heat and grill them cut-side down for about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    On the bottom of each light hamburger roll layer a tomato slice, hamburger, grilled onion, Romaine lettuce and top of each roll. If desired, serve decorated with an American flag toothpick.
