Disneyland Burgers!!

These will be forever known as Disneyland Burgers to us. They are a copy of the pastrami burgers served at the Village Haus Restaurant in Fantasyland. My husband requested them for his birthday.










This is for 5 burgers, adjust accordingly if you need more or less



I like Telera Rolls for this, but you can use any bun you like!

Patties:
1.5 lbs ground beef  (specifically chuck for authenticity, but other fat contents work )
1 TB water
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:
1/2 lb pastrami
2 large sweet onions, caramelized(link for steps)
Swiss Cheese
Pickles
Lettuce


Creamy Horseradish:
1/4 cup sour cream
2 TB mayonnaise
1 TB prepared horseradish
salt and pepper to taste


Combine all ingredients of horseradish sauce, set aside











Get your onions caramelized and set aside.













Gently combine beef, water, smoke and garlic powder, salt and pepper and form into 5 patties roughly 5 oz each.








Broil under high heat 4-5 minutes per side until no pink remains (165 degrees!)
Add cheese and heat until just melted.



Slice and toast your buns,

Spread some of the horseradish sauce on your bottom of the bun, add a patty, some pastrami, some onions, pickles and lettuce.
Spread a little more horseradish sauce on the top bun and place it on top.


Serve and enjoy!!
