Back in the late 70’s, my girlfriend saw that recipe where one mixes a packet of onion soup mix in with the hamburger to flavor it up. Nice idea, but unbeknownst to me, she used the entire packet for TWO hamburgers, bless her heart, she was tryin! The burgers were a tad onion-ey, but we both farted onion for 3 days afterwards. In retrospect, it was hilarious...just not so much at the time. Har!
LOL!
Your lucky.
I roasted up some ducks with a nice rice dressing and the girl I was dating wanted to make the gravy.
She made a nice batch of what would best be described as the paste you used in kindergarten.
If you thought it was thick on your plate just wait until it got in your mouth.
The things we are willing to do to keep from hurting their feelings.
That onion soup mix is good for a Salisbury type burger. Fry burger after a dip in flour mixture. Drain excess grease, add dry soup (I use half an env for 2-3 patties. Add water/1/2 of that called for, allow to come to boil, stirring. Cook about 15 min and then add a cornstarch/water to thicken the soup mixture. The Hearty Lipton onion soup or reg onion soup works. Also, sometimes add some thinly sliced onion pieces to the burger berfore adding dry soup. A bit of Kitchen Bouquet is a plus as well. The gravy is great atop mashed potatoes or rice. The WARNING - this is a high sodium factor. So moderation, please.
