Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs (675 g) lean ground beef
- 1 pkg Honey Garlic Meatball Seasoning or Sweet Garlic Chicken Seasoning, divided
- 1 yellow onion
- 4 slices low-sodium bacon
- 6 burger buns
Preparation
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush with oil to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, combine beef and 3 tbsp seasoning. Using a fork or your hands, mix until well blended. Form into 6 patties.
- Grill, with lid closed, 5–6 min per side, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, peel onion and slice into rounds. Place in Multipurpose Steamer. Add half the remaining seasoning and stir to combine. Cover; microwave on high 5 min.
- Place remaining seasoning in a shallow dish. Cut bacon slices in half. Using tongs or your hands, add bacon to dish one piece at a time, rotating and pressing to coat.
- Arrange bacon over Multipurpose Tray. Once onions have cooked 5 min, stir and then place tray with bacon overtop. Cover; microwave on high 5–7 min, or until bacon is cooked to your liking. Onions should be soft and caramelized.
- Tuck burgers into buns with bacon, onions, and additional toppings, if desired.
