Use two pre-made 8 oz Beef Patties and flatten out but not too thin.
Season the outsides of patties with black pepper, salt, onion and garlic powder to taste.
Flip both over and fill one clean side of your patty with chopped garlic to taste, sun dried tomatoes to taste, fresh sliced Basil to taste and one slice mozzarella cheese folded into 4's and place all in the center of the patty.
Be careful to avoid the outer rims of patties. Especially if you have any oil on your hands.
On the second clean side of the patty, sprinkle dehydrated onions being careful to avoid the outside edges of the patty. Press dehydrated onions into the patty to seal them in the meat.
Place the dehydrated onion patty side onto the cheese patty side.
Finger press the clean edges in deep towards each other in order to seal the top and bottom patties together.
Form a perfect patty with no holes or openings at your patties sides. Otherwise, the middle contents will spill out during frying.
Melt butter and add some small chopped chives to it.
Cook patty low and slow [with a tight lid over it] being careful not to burn. You'll want to slowly cook your patty and the contents within without burning or losing your inside ingredients.
When almost cooked, brush butter and chive mixture on your hamburger buns.
Sprinkle bread with garlic, onion powder and black pepper to taste. Or you can make a garlic butter spread. Recipe at base.
Once patty is fully cooked, pull out and place on paper towels to fully drain.
Wipe hamburger pan clean with a napkin and add your buttered hamburger buns.
Char buttered buns just slightly.
Serve with purple onions, tomatoes, lettuce and a side dish of your choosing.
Authors Note: You can mix a packet of dry Lipton Onion Soup Mix into your hamburger for added flavor or to make a Patty Melt Style Burger.
