Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, 1/2 of the onion (chop it), minced garlic, Parmesan, Worcestershire, ketchup, egg, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Use your hands to combine all the ingredients and mix everything together.
Step 3
Form the meat mixture into patties. I made smaller slider patties (about 8) so they were easily wrap-able in the lettuce.
Step 4
Optional step: spray (or brush) each side of the hamburgers with oil or ghee.
Step 5
Heat your grill on high for 5 – 10 minutes.
Step 6
Then turn down the heat to medium and place the burgers on the grill.
Step 7
Grill each side for about 5 minutes, until they are easily flippable and don’t stick when you try to slide the spatula under.
Step 8
While you’re cooking the hamburgers, or waiting for the grill to heat up, slice the other half of the onion and place it in a pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon butter or oil.
Step 9
Cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes to caramelize the onions.
Step 10
For the special sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, ketchup, garlic powder, hot sauce, and liquid smoke.
Step 11
Place a slice of tomato in the middle of the leaf, followed by some avocado, the burger, caramelized onion, and some special sauce.
Step 12
Fold up the sides and secure with a couple toothpicks.
Step 13
These are best and juiciest right off the grill, so enjoy immediately. OMG, salivating.
