Directions

Set the Big Green Egg for direct cooking at 400°F/200°C 2
Combine ground beef, grated Bland Farms® Premium Sweet Onion, cloves minced garlic, Vidalia Brands® Special Blend Seasoning Salt, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh cracked pepper and refrigerate for 2 hours
Lightly oil the Big Green Egg Half Moon Cast Iron Plancha Griddle and caramelize the sliced sweet onions
Set aside
While onions are caramelizing, loosely form patties into 3-4 oz balls
Use the weight of the Big Green Egg Cast Iron Grill Press to push down on the meat until you have a thin patty
Let the burgers cook for 60-90 seconds until the juices start to bubble through the burgers
Only flip the patties once; be sure to scrape under the patty to retain the crispy, caramelized crust on the bottom
Add cheese if desired and cook for another minute or two
Top with the caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce and favorite condiments and serve immediately on hamburger buns
