MCDONALD'S HAMBURGER

Steps:

• Combine salt, pepper, and accent in a small bowl. Use this to season the meat. You will not use all of this. You can store the remaining and use another time.
• Place the dehydrated onions into a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of warm water. These will hydrate and be ready by the time you finish cooking the burgers.
• For this recipe I like to use a griddle, it is important for the juices to float away from the burger while cooking. If you do not have one, you can use a very large skillet. Preheat the griddle to 375 degrees.
• Form 8 small round patties with the ground chuck. Place the patties on the hot grill. Use a spatula and press the patty into the grill for 4 to 5 seconds to sear in the juices.
• You know you have pressed the patty into the grill hard enough when you have to scrape it from the griddle. Season the patties liberally.
• Cook the patties on both sides. When you flip the burger, season the other side well. When the burgers are done place the buns on the hot griddle and toast the buns until they begin to brown.
• To assemble the burgers you will want to place 5 small squirts of mustard on the bottom bun. Follow the mustard with 5 larger squirts of ketchup. Add some onions, and a dill pickle slice or two. Place the hamburger patty on top of the pickle. Place the top bun on top of meat patty.
• If you would like to make a McDonald's cheeseburger, simply add a slice of American cheese to the burger patty once you have flipped it over. Cook for another minute or so, and remove from the grill. Dress the burger with ketchup, mustard, pickle slices and onion.

Steps:

• Bring a skillet or non-stick frying pan to medium heat, then place the bun halves into the dry skillet to toast. Once the buns reach a light golden color and the texture feels toasted, remove from the skillet and set aside.
• McDonald's burger product photos show fresh white onion pieces, but it's thought that the company uses rehydrated dried minced onion, which provide a more "authentic" McDonald's copycat. To rehydrate dried minced onion, add 1/2 tablespoon of the dried onion to 1 cup of boiling water, then cut the heat and allow the onion to set and absorb the water until there is no longer a hard center. Drain and set aside.
• Salt one side of your burger patty, then place the patty with the salted side down into your skillet.
• Salt the upward-facing patty as the other side cooks, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, then remove from heat.
• Assemble the hamburger by starting with the bottom bun and the burger patty. On the top half of the bun, add ketchup, then mustard, then onions, and lastly the sliced pickles. Then close the burger up with the top bun.
• Optionally, to closely mimic the texture of the wrapped burgers, microwave your burger for 10 to 15 seconds to get that "steamed bun" effect.
