Every now and then I get in the mood to switch things up and find a version of a dish that I haven’t made before. When I found this recipe for an Italian spin on a burger, I knew I had to try it. Michael and I are also a big caramelized onion fans, so I was also happy to see lots of onion for a topping! The Italian seasonings mixed into the beef patty bring in the flavors similar to a meatball. Not to worry though, the overall feel is still that of a burger! I used our grill pan in order to cook the burgers, but a normal pan would work fine as well. Overall, I still prefer the taste of a regular burger, but I will definitely be making this burger again when I want to switch things up.
