Kraft Kitchens Tips

Healthy Living

Save 120 calories, 13 g fat and 4.5 g saturated fat per serving by using extra-lean ground beef, KRAFT Light Zesty Italian Dressing and KRAFT 2% Milk Singles.

How to Grill Onion Slices

Insert 4 metal or soaked wooden skewers completely through the side of a whole onion at 1/2-inch intervals. Cut onion, between skewers, into 4 thick slices. The skewers will help keep the slices intact while grilling.

Few things: Don't mix the meat and bbq sauce too much, burgers won't stay together on grill. Any bbq sauce will do. I do recommend one on the sweeter side. Spread some of the italian dressing on the buns and also add some dijon mustard for a good flavor combo. Excellent taste, no additional salt needed.

Cut back a smidge on the BBQ sauce - too much and the burgers fall apart. Very moist and flavorful. We added slices of fresh avocado to the top - delish.

This is how my grandmother has always made her burgers, minus grilling the onions thing. She usually grills them medium-well so the sauce and juices all seep out! They're amazing!
