From Chef Jason K. Morse, C.E.C., Valley Country Club
Serves 2


-6 Mini burger buns

-12 oz. Ground chuck

-Kosher salt to taste

-Ground black pepper to taste

-3/4 cup White cheddar cheese, shredded

-1/2 Yellow onion, julienned

-Butter

-1-1/2 cups Shoestring potatoes

-Mayonnaise, as needed

-Mustard, as needed

-Ketchup, as needed

-Pickles, as needed

Sauté onions in butter and set aside. Season the ground beef with salt and pepper and form into 6 patties. Grill or sauté burgers to desired temperature, add a little seasoning while grilling. While the burgers are cooking, grill the buns. When the burgers are close to done, top with the cheese and allow to melt. Place the burgers on the toasted buns and top with onions, pickles and favorite condiments. Arrange the mini burgers onto a round plate and place the shoestring potato sticks in the center. This is a great recipe to try your own flavors, try them blackened, or use different sauces, and have fun!
