Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 blend)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 4 Hoagie rolls (6-inch, split)
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 large Yellow onion (sliced thin)
• 4 Slices of cheese (cheddar, provolone, or American)
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato (sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Mustard (optional)
• 0.5 cups Pickle slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately the length of the hoagie rolls.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Increase heat to medium-high and carefully place the burger patties into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until browned and crispy.

Step 5

Flip the patties and place one slice of cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the patties and set aside.

Step 6

In a clean skillet or on a griddle, melt the butter over medium heat. Toast the hoagie rolls, cut side down, until golden and lightly crisp, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

To assemble each hoagie burger, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (and mustard, if desired) on the bottom half of a toasted hoagie roll. Layer on a lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, a cooked burger patty, caramelized onions, and pickle slices. Top with the other half of the hoagie roll.

Step 8

Serve immediately alongside your favorite sides, such as fries or a side salad. Enjoy your Exceptionally Good Pan Fried Hoagie Burgers!
