Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except sliced onion, tomato, and relish.
- Shape into 8 flat beef patties.
- Place sliced onion, tomato, and 2 tablespoons relish on half of the patties.
- Top with another beef patty and seal the edges around the meat.
- Place the assembled beefwiches on a broiler pan.
- Broil for 6 minutes on each side.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika into the beef mixture. If you don't have dry bread crumbs, crushed crackers or panko work well as a substitute. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. To enhance the beefwiches, try adding cheese between the patties before broiling for a melty surprise.
Serving Suggestions
Serve beefwiches with a side of crispy fries or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Scooter'S Chili Dip for an added kick. For an even heartier option, consider serving them on toasted buns with additional toppings like cheese, lettuce, or pickles. A side of coleslaw would also complement the flavors nicely.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover beefwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 1-2 minutes, but the oven will help maintain their texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the beefwiches before or after cooking?
Yes, you can freeze the beefwiches either before or after cooking. If freezing before, assemble them and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to an airtight container. If freezing after cooking, allow them to cool completely before storing. They can be reheated from frozen, but may require additional cooking time.
What can I use instead of hot dog relish?
If you don't have hot dog relish, you can substitute it with chopped pickles or a mixture of diced cucumbers and vinegar for a similar tangy flavor. Alternatively, you could use a sweet pickle relish or even a homemade salsa for a different twist. Just adjust the amount to taste based on your preference.
How do I know when the beefwiches are done cooking?
You can tell the beefwiches are done when they have a nice brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure they are fully cooked. If you're broiling, keep an eye on them to avoid burning, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
