Succulent Stewed Taco Burgers by Sarah

Ingredients

• One onion, separated into parts
• A hint of butter, about a teaspoon
• Four portions of taco seasoning, divided accordingly
• Approximately one and a quarter pounds of ground beef
• Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
• An eight-ounce can of tomato sauce
• A quarter cup of zesty salsa
• Four soft hamburger buns

Step 1

Prepare a delightful dish with a twist by starting with the aromatic onion. Chop enough onion to fill 1/4 cup, saving the rest for later use. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat, then toss in the minced onion along with a teaspoon of zesty taco seasoning. Allow the onion to cook until it turns translucent and releases its delightful aroma, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 2

Next, transfer this seasoned onion to a mixing bowl and combine it with ground beef, more taco seasoning, and a hint of garlic powder. Mix these ingredients well to form 4 delicious hamburger patties.

Step 3

In another skillet, pour in the tomato sauce and kick things up a notch by adding salsa and an extra dash of taco seasoning. Stir everything together and then add in the thinly sliced remaining onion using a mandolin for precision. Gently place the burger patties into the simmering sauce and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 170 degrees F (76 degrees C), around 5 minutes per side.

Step 4

For an extra touch of flavor and texture, lightly toast the burger buns. Assemble your burgers by placing the savory patties on the buns and generously spooning over the flavorful sauce. Feel free to add any additional toppings of your choice for a personalized culinary experience.
