Don't sublimate that craving, just dive in

Ever since I made that batch of pickled onions the other day, I've been unable to think about anything other than onions. Ok, that's an exaggeration, but I really am thinking about them a lot. I decided that for dinner tonight, I will make the most oniony thing I can think of that will still be good. I present to you:

Exponential Onion Burgers!

My plan is to mix a pound of ground beef with a packet of onion soup mix, make that into four patties, and top each burger with grilled onions and onion dip. Maybe even some pickled onions. I wanted to put them on onion buns, but the store only had 8-packs of those, which is silly for a home where two people live. I'm only serving us one each for dinner and then packing another for our lunches Wednesday, and I don't want to have to scramble to use double that amount of buns.

I had a container of onion dip in my basket at the store last night and realized there was just no reason to use a pre-made one, especially since it would be the fattiest version possible if I did. Instead, I grabbed a two-cup container of Fage greek yogurt and mixed it with a packet of onion soup mix. This made a giant container of very healthy dip/spread, with only 300 calories (plus whatever the onion powder might add, so, next to nothing) in the entire container.

So, onion party at my place tonight!

maybe you should put an onion ring inside each patty. onion-stuffed burgers.

I worry about the burger's structural integrity. Especially when a bite is taken.

Who's bringing the mints? ;)

Funny you should mention that. As soon as I tried the yogurt dip last night, I could smell my own breath.

You can freeze those leftover onion buns

I thought of that, since I actually keep all our bread in the freezer, which is the reason I didn't want to commit to the extra buns taking up the space in there.

I want a deep freeze.

How do you feel about the yogurt onion dip. I am trying to find something to dip my veggies into, and the ranch mix/sour cream is just too heavy, and offsets the healthy veggies. But it's all I want to eat lately, and due to my ulcer I can only eat small bites throughout the day.

It's really really good. I think you'll dig it.
