Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad

Ingredients:4 sesame seed hamburger bun tops
1 small red onion, divided
2 plum tomatoes
3/4 lb (350 g) 95% lean ground beef
1/2 cup (125 mL) finely diced dill pickles
3/4 cup (175 mL) ketchup
1 tbsp (15 mL) yellow mustard
8 cups (2 L) thinly sliced romaine lettuce
4 oz (125 g) shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup/250 mL)

Directions:1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice bun tops into 1/4-in. (6-mm) strips (if bun tops are very thick, slice bottoms off horizontally before slicing into strips). Arrange in a single layer on Large Bar Pan; bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool completely.
2. Slice half of the onion crosswise into thin rings using Ultimate Mandoline fitted with thin slicing blade. Cut tomatoes into quarters lengthwise and slice crosswise using Utility Knife. Set onion and tomatoes aside.
3. Cook ground beef in (8-in./20-cm) Sauté Pan over medium-high heat 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles using Slotted Turner. Chop remaining onion half using Food Chopper. Finely dice pickles using Utility Knife. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine chopped onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard. Add cooked ground beef; mix well using Small Mix 'N Scraper(R).
4. To serve, arrange lettuce on large serving platter. Spoon beef mixture over lettuce. Top with cheese, tomatoes and sliced onion. Arrange hamburger bun croutons around edge of platter. Serve immediately.
