Vidalia Topped Caesar Burgers

These burgers are our go-to burgers for the week.  They're packed with flavor and really easy!  You can always add your favorite toppings to it.  Seth likes them just how they are but he also adds bacon and sometimes cheese.  Sometimes you're just in the mood for a cheeseburger, ya' know!  So pile on whatever toppings you're in the mood for...but ya' gotta try the onions!  As a side, I also take zucchini and yellow squash, slice them in half long ways, drizzle evoo, salt, pepper, and garlic powder on the tops and grill them right along with the burgers.  So yummy!!

1 lb. ground beef

2 tablespoons dried parsley

1/2 cup Caesar dressing

1/2 tsp. seasoning salt

pepper to taste

1 Vidalia onion, cut into thick slices

1-2 heads of romaine lettuce, shredded

1/4-1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (powdered or freshly shredded)

4 burger buns

Heat coals or gas grill to medium-high heat.  Mix the ground beef, parsley, dressing, seasoning salt, and pepper.  Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties.  I like to take my thumb and make a thumb print in the middle of each one.  That keeps them nice and flat instead of turning into a meatball.

Place the burgers on the grill.  At the same time, place the onions (and any other veggies) along the outer edge of the burgers (just away from the main heat).  Cover and grill 12-15 minutes, turning everything once, until the veggies are tender, yet crisp, and the juice of the beef runs clear.

Toss the shredded romaine lettuce with additional Caesar dressing and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  Layer romaine salad, burger, and onion on each bun.
