Directions
-
Preheat the broiler and position the rack so the top is about 6 inches from the heat source.
-
Using a large serrated knife, cut the sourdough loaf horizontally in half to create a top and bottom bun.
-
Set the top crust aside and discard any remaining excess bread.
-
In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup of bread crumbs, dry onion soup mix, and 1/4 cup water; let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to absorb liquid.
-
Add 2 pounds of ground beef to the bread mixture and stir lightly just until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
-
Shape the beef mixture into a single large, flat patty, approximately 9 inches in diameter.
-
Place the patty directly on the broiler rack positioned over a baking sheet to catch drippings.
-
Broil the patty for about 10 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch and cooked through.
-
While the patty cooks, line the bottom half of the sourdough loaf with fresh lettuce leaves.
-
Using two pancake turners, carefully lift the hot beef patty and place it onto the lettuce-lined bread.
-
Top the patty with sliced tomatoes and sweet pickle chips.
-
Place the reserved top crust back onto the sandwich to close it.
-
Using a serrated knife, cut the giant burger into wedges for easy serving.
