Hong Kong Burgers

Cadillacgirl's Note:

I have no idea where the name came from but it's been in my family forever - my dad remembers my Grandma making this for him when he was a kid as a special "treat" supper! I've included the sauce recipe for the buns too - it just isn't the same without it!

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 5

Yield: 5.0 burgers

• 1 ½ lbs ground beef
• 1 (14 ounce) can bean sprouts
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 5 cheese slices or 5 slices cheddar cheese
• 5 kaiser rolls , unsliced
• lettuce (optional)
• tomato , slices (optional)

SAUCE

• ¼ cup chili sauce (we use Heinz)
• ¼ cup mayonnaise

Directions:

1. Combine burger ingredients until just combined.
2. Shape into 10 patties.
3. Grill for about 4 minutes, flip, and grill 4 minutes longer (depending on your grill and how fast the burgers cook).
4. Just before the burgers are done, put a cheese slice on 5 patties until melted and remove from grill.
5. Combine the chili sauce and the mayo to make the sauce.
6. Cut each hamburger bun into 3 slices (think of a Big Mac bun).
7. Place a plain patty on the bottom with some sauce, then the middle of the bun, then a cheese patty, a slice of tomato, some lettuce, put some sauce on the top bun, and put'er on top.
8. Serve with lots of napkins!

WOW! Your Grandma did really good with this! It is amazingly plump and juicy. I made for 2 burgers but got 4 out of the recipe. I did give a rough chop to the bean sprouts. Didn`t do the kaiser rolls and didn`t split in three. I`m the one that removes the bread as I eat. Sorry! I did give a brushing of Recipe #424837 for a little extra kick. These are a must make!!!! Thanks. Made for ZWT 6
