Cheeseburger Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Arrange the strips in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the strips are lightly toasted. Set the strips aside.
• Place the ground beef into a skillet over medium heat, and brown the meat for about 10 to 12 minutes, breaking the beef apart as it cooks, until the meat is well browned and no longer pink inside. Stir the chopped onion, ketchup, dill pickle, and mustard into the beef mixture and mix well.
• Arrange the chopped lettuce on a large serving platter, and spoon the beef mixture over the lettuce. Top the salad with the sliced onion, plum tomatoes, and shredded cheese, and arrange the hamburger bun croutons around the platter.

Steps:

• Cut hamburger buns into 1-inch cubes. Melt 1/4 of the stick of butter (2 tablespoons) in another skillet over low heat. Add the bun cubes and toss to oat. Toast the cubes in the skillet for about 10-12 minutes, adding another 1/4 of the stick of butter every few minutes until you've used the whole stick. This ensures that all the croutons will soak up the butter and toast nicely.
• To assemble the salads, set out six salad plates. Put some torn lettuce down first. Top with one-sixth of the meat mixture and top with a good amount of cheese. Add diced tomato, pickle chunks, and red onion slices over the top. Sprinkle warm croutons all around the plate.
