Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To broil patties, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning once. Place buns, cut side up, on broiler pan; broil 1 to 2 minutes.
  • tip 2
    Sweet onions, available during spring and summer, have a mild flavor. Vidalia, Walla Walla and Maui are three varieties of sweet onions that are very juicy.
  • tip 3
    Serve these burgers on any flavorful bun such as sourdough or whole wheat.
  • tip 4
    For extra blue cheese flavor, spread toasted buns with your favorite blue cheese dressing before assembling the burgers.
