Directions:
Add your butter to a skillet, then add your onions. You do NOT want to cook these onions until they are super soft. There should still be some crunch to them when you serve these sandwiches. I cook them for about 7 minutes in the butter alone, just to take the bite out of them. After 7 minutes, add the ground beef.
Cook the ground beef, breaking it up into a fine crumble. I use my ground meat chopper. When the meat is fully cooked, if you want to drain it, you can. I use the lean beef so I do not need to drain it. After you drain, add the seasonings, the soy sauce or Worcestershire, and the pickle juice. Sauté for a minute or so then add the can of soup if you are using it. The soup adds a little texture to the beef and is not a traditional ingredient, I liked how it mellowed out the rawish onion and kind of brought the beef together. If you add the soup, simmer for 10 minutes on low until the mixture thickens up and absorbs. If you do not use the soup. You are done.
Steam your buns in a steamer on the stove or you can microwave for a few seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel. You can also put the buns on top of the beef face down, cover the pan with a lid and let them steam for a few minutes.
Serve with mustard and ketchup and slices of pickle, or just plain!
I await your comments! Enjoy!
