Who can resist a delicious, juicy hamburger during cookout season? These hamburger patties hold their moisture with the dehydrated onions in the patties, locking in the juices that would normally run off during cooking. A slight hint of heat from the crushed red pepper and cayenne gives it just the right amount of flavor to compliment any topping you choose.

Notes
This recipe freezes well for up to 4 months. Simply make individual patties and pull the day you plan to prepare for a quick and easy meal!
While most hamburger recipes recommend 80-85% lean ground beef because this will add flavor and moisture, I chose a leaner ground beef because the seasonings and dehydrated onion compensate for the leaner beef. I prefer to try to make my recipes on the healthier side when possible without sacrificing the flavor of the food. In this instance the leaner beef helps reduce the fat and calories in the hamburger patties.

Recommended Pairings:
While this onion hamburger patty is great as is, we highly recommend trying it with our Cajun seasoning sprinkled on the patty right before grilling. Top with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese and an over easy egg for a delicious and filling cheeseburger that everyone will be raving about!
