This is my ultimate MELTY cheese from Borden. I purchase mine at Shop Rite, usually when it is on sale.
Kettle & Fire is so wonderful. It has great flavor and if you’d like to try it out just click HERE for 20% off at Kettle & Fire.
Any nonfat Greek yogurt will do. I go to Aldi since it is cheaper and the calories and great on it too.
I recently found this ketchup at Shop Rite. No sugar added is a better alternative.
Here is the no sugar added sweet relish that I purchase from Shop Rite.
Here is how to make it:
- Preheat a pan on medium heat with a little of avocado oil
- Add the sliced onions to the pan.
- Season with salt and sauté until translucent. Set aside.
- Add the EASY SPECIAL SAUCE ingredients to a small bowl, combine and set aside
- In a separate pan, set to medium high heat
- While the pan is heating up, portion the 5 ounces of beef into 2 1/2-ounce balls
- Once pan is hot, add the beef to the lightly greased hot pan
- Once in, take a metal spatula and SMASH the burgers down
- Season with salt
- Once the burger edges are brown and crisp looking flip
- Once flipped add the cheese and the beef broth to the pan and immediately cover
