2 lbs Ground Beef
1 1/2 Tablespoons Fish Sauce (for more daring, savory depth, use 2 tablespoons)
2 cloves Garlic, crushed or fine mince
1 teaspoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground Black Pepper
4-6 Hamburger buns
Blue Cheese
Fried, crispy bacon strips
Sliced Lettuce
1 Ripe Red Tomato
1 Red Onion
1 Mexican (real Sugar) Coca-Cola
Dukes Mayo
Directions:
For onions - Add a small amount of olive oil to a pan, sautee onions on medium high heat until their translucent, lower heat and add 1/4 cup Coca-Cola or enough to cover the onions, cook on low approximately 15-20 minutes until soft and caramelized.
For Meat - In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, garlic, sugar and black pepper. Add the marinade to the ground beef and combine until all the ingredients are mixed together well. Refrigerate the beef for at least 30 minutes.
Gently form meat into patties. Form them to the size of your burger or slider buns.
Cook on a skillet or grill. (1/2 patties on a med./high grill take about 3 min. per side for med. rare burger. Heat temp., thickness, etc. all affect cooking times)
Toast buns!
Assemble with bottom bun, burger, onions, cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, then mayo on the top bun.
