No matter if you’re from the East Coast or the West Coast this juicy California Burger is going to wow you. The juicy, savory patty with onion forward flavors, smothered with plenty of avocado makes for a delicious burger you won’t want to pass up.
First finely dice the white onions. You want them small and uniform. Then, combine beef with all the burger ingredients to a large bowl.
Stir the burger mixture until everything is combined.
Use your hands to form the mixture into 4 equal sized patties. Season each patty lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Use cooking spray or a little olive oil to grease a large skillet and heat to medium heat. Place burgers into the pan.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side in the hot skillet or until the burger reaches desired doneness (at least 165ºF).
Add a slice of cheese to each burger 1 minute before removing from the pan. If needed, add a lid to the pan to trap the heat in so the cheese melts.
Build the burger to your liking, just don’t skimp on the avocado! That’s the main topping in a California Burger Recipe! My preference: lots of pickles, light mayo, sliced avocado (or mashed avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice and lime juice), slice of tomato, shredded lettuce leaves, AND with a toasted bun.
For a perfectly toasted bun, spread a little butter on both the top bun and bottom bun and place on a baking sheet under the broiler, cut side up for 30-60 seconds until golden brown.
