Serving Size: 1 Ingredients: Cooking Directions: -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/4 pound ground chuck 1 large sesame-seed bun 1 tablespoon Kraft® mayonnaise -- divided 1 tablespoon Heinz® ketchup 1/2 tablespoon Heinz® hamburger relish (the red stuff) 3 Vlasic® hamburger slices 1 tomato slice - (to 2) 3 white onion rings - (to 4) 1 handful chopped lettuce Pre-Prepare your Condiments: Mix 1 tablespoon ketchup with 1/2 tablespoon relish, set aside. Chop the lettuce; you'll need a handful per burger. Thinly slice the tomato and onion. You'll need 1 to 2 tomato slices, and 3 to 4 rings of fresh onion. (These amounts are for each Famous Star®) Preparing the beef: On waxed paper, hamburg into 5 inch round pattiy. Freeze for at least an hour. Keep any spares frozen until needed. Obviously you'll do this in advance. Preparing the bun(s): When cooking time draws near, toast the faces of the bun (top and bottom) on a 375 degree electric griddle. They should be an even tan color. Cooking your Famous Star®: Preheat either an outdoor gas barbecue, or an indoor electric one. After it is pre-heated, place a still-frozen beef patty on the grill, pressing down firmly for 4 to 5 seconds (this will get you the grill marks). Salt liberally. Cook for 3 minutes (gas) or 5 to 6 minutes (electric). Eyeball it -- if it looks ready to turn, turn it. While the beef is cooking, dress your bun as follows. Top Half: Your pre-mixed special sauce (ketchup and relish); 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise. Bottom Half: 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise; 3 pickle slices; 1 handful of chopped iceberg lettuce; 1 to 2 tomato slices; 3 to 4 fresh rings of onion. Turn the beef patty over, press down firmly with a spatula for 3 to 4 seconds, and salt liberally. (Don't be afraid to have a few flames "kiss" the burger...they are charbroiled) Place the cooked beef patty on the dressed bottom bun, add the top, and BAM -- a Carl's Jr® Famous Star™!
