    Tired of the same boring burger recipe? You're going to love this super easy recipe for hamburgers made with Lipton Onion Soup Mix.

    They're juicy, delicious and definitely kid approved. Never serve boring, dry burgers again!

    My mom always made hamburgers with onion soup. Hers were more like meatloaf burgers, but I keep mine simple.

    Ingredients

    You only need 3 simple ingredients for Mom's onion soup mix burgers -- it really doesn't get much easier than this! What you don't already have in your pantry can be found online on in local grocery stores:

    • Ground beef -- we use 80/20 mix
    • Package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
    • Water

    Water is the secret ingredient to juicy burgers, folks. We use it in all of our favorite burger recipes, including Instant Pot Hamburgers, Air Fryer Hamburgers and Jalapeño Bacon Cheeseburgers.

    How to Make Lipton Onion Soup Burgers

    First, add the packet of onion soup mix to the ground beef in a large bowl. We usually use around 2 pounds of ground beef, but you can easily adjust the recipe as needed.

    Then, add ¼ cup of water. With clean hands, gently mix beef with the dry onion soup mix by hand until the meat is firm enough to handle.

    Form the meat into hamburger patties. You should be able to get 6 or 7 patties -- around ½ inch thick each.

    Then, gently press the middle of each patty with your thumb to make an indentation. This helps prevent the hamburgers from shrinking too much while they cook.

    Cook Time

    Once you've made the burgers, you can use your favorite cooking method to cook them. Cook burgers on gas grill over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees, according to a meat thermometer.

    You can add your favorite cheese during the last minute or so. We like American cheese on these burgers, but cheddar or Colby Jack is also good.

    You can also cook burgers on the Ninja Foodi Grill or similar indoor grill. Just insert the probe and select your preferred cooking time.

    We love Blackstone Griddle smash burgers! But, you can cook regular hamburgers on your outdoor griddle too!

    To cook onion soup burgers in an air fryer oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place on the tray, and cook for 15 minutes, turning about halfway through.

    Use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is 160 degrees. Add your favorite cheese right before the burgers are done cooking.

    Last, but not least, you can always cook onion soup burgers on the stove over medium heat!

    Variations

    There are a couple ways to customize this Lipton onion soup burger recipe to your liking.

    Instead of water, use beef broth for a little extra flavor. Or, add some Worcestershire sauce into the mixture.

    Use any kind of cheese. Of course, American cheese and cheddar cheese are burger classics, but provolone cheese, Swiss cheese, and even gruyere cheese go great with a French onion soup burger!

    We like to use brioche buns with these beefy onion burgers, but you can also use potato buns, sesame buns, or whatever buns you like.

    Season beef with more than just the onion dip mix. Onion powder, a savory herb spice blend, or a little salt and pepper are great options.

    In addition to your favorite toppings, try some caramelized onions or fresh sweet onions on these tasty burgers.

    If you don't want to use packet Lipton onion soup mix, make a homemade onion soup mix with a blend of dried minced onions, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

    How to Store

    Made too many burgers? You can store leftover burgers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

    For longer storage, wrap cooked hamburgers in wax paper or plastic wrap, place in ziptop freezer storage bag, and keep frozen for up to 4 months for best quality, according to the USDA.

    Reheat burgers in the microwave, over the stove or in the air fryer.
