Exact Ingredients List

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these tasty Flying Dutchman Burgers:

For the Burger Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2-3 tablespoons relish
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

For the Patties:

• 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Burgers:

• 2 large onions
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 slices American or cheddar cheese

Make sure you have all these ingredients ready before you start cooking. The onions will be your “buns,” so pick nice big ones. For the cheese, go with whatever you like best – American melts really well, but cheddar has a stronger flavor.

Remember, this recipe makes 4 servings. Each burger will have two patties and two onion “buns.” Get ready for a messy but super yummy meal!

Instructions

Mix up the tasty burger sauce first. Whisk mayo, ketchup, relish, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire, and sugar in a bowl. Pop it in the fridge to chill.

Now for the patties. Gently mix the beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Shape into 8 small balls and flatten them a bit.

Let’s make those onion “buns”. Slice onions into thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and sugar. Cook them in oil over medium-low heat until they’re soft and a little crispy on the edges.

Time to cook the burgers! Heat up your skillet and smash those patties nice and thin. Cook for a few minutes, flip, add cheese, and cook a bit more.

To build your burger, start with an onion round. Add a cheesy patty and some sauce. Stack on another patty and more sauce. Top it off with another onion round.

Serve it up with extra sauce on the side. Get ready for a messy, delicious meal!

Remember to work in batches so you don’t overcrowd your pan. And have plenty of napkins handy – you’re gonna need them!

How To Make It Diabetes-Friendly

You can enjoy a tasty Flying Dutchman Burger while managing your blood sugar. Try these easy swaps:

Use lean ground turkey instead of beef. This cuts down on fat and calories.

Skip the sugar in the onions and sauce. Use a natural sweetener like stevia if needed.

Choose reduced-fat cheese slices to lower the overall fat content.

Make a lighter sauce with Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Mix in mustard, vinegar, and spices for flavor.

Serve your burger with a side salad rather than fries. This adds fiber and nutrients without extra carbs.

Keep portions in check by making smaller patties. Use just 1.5 oz of meat per patty instead of 2 oz.

Load up on veggie toppings like lettuce, tomato, and peppers. These add crunch and vitamins without many carbs.

By making these simple changes, you can create a diabetes-friendly version of this popular burger. Remember to check with your doctor about how it fits into your meal plan.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

For the best Flying Dutchman burger, choose onions that are large and firm. Sweet onions work great for this recipe. When slicing, aim for 1/2-inch thick rounds to get the perfect “bun” texture.

To keep your hands clean while forming patties, try using a burger press or the lid of a jar. This helps create uniform shapes. For extra flavor, mix some finely chopped onions into the meat before shaping.

Here’s a handy tip for melting cheese: Cover the pan with a lid for the last 30 seconds of cooking. The steam will melt the cheese perfectly.

Storing leftovers is easy:

• Wrap cooked patties in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days
• Keep sauce in an airtight container for up to 5 days
• Store uncooked patties in the fridge for 1-2 days or freeze for 3-4 months

To reheat, warm the patties in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Assemble with fresh onion “buns” for the best taste and texture.

Want to prep ahead? You can make the sauce and shape the patties a day before. Just keep them covered in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
