"White Palace" Burgers
White Palace Burgers feature savory liverwurst spread combined with ground beef, topped with onions for a flavorful, hearty sandwich perfect for quick lunches or casual dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Underwood liverwurst spread, ground beef, onion powder, pepper, and seasoned salt.
- Shape the mixture into six thin rectangular patties.
- Fry the patties and chopped onions on a lightly greased grill or skillet.
- As the patties fry, make holes in them here and there with the tip of a knife.
- Serve on small burger buns with plenty of onions and a dill pickle chip.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce or a splash of soy sauce to the beef mixture. If liverwurst isn't available, a pâté or spreadable sausage can work as a substitute. To enhance texture, finely chop some mushrooms and mix them into the patties. When frying, ensure the skillet is hot enough to achieve a good sear without overcooking the insides, much like the techniques used in classic American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the 'White Palace' burgers with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. For an added crunch, include potato chips on the side. These burgers pair beautifully with a dill pickle chip, which enhances the savory flavors. Consider offering toppings like cheese or mustard to cater to different tastes, similar to a Hamburger Barley Chowder spread.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover patties can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When reheating, place them in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water and covering with a lid to ensure they remain moist. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the microwave, but be cautious to avoid drying them out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the patties ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the patties ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. This allows the flavors to meld. If you want to freeze them, place the uncooked patties between parchment paper and store them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before cooking.
What can I use instead of burger buns?
If you're looking for alternatives to traditional burger buns, consider using lettuce leaves for a low-carb option or whole grain wraps for a healthier twist. You can also use pita bread or English muffins for a unique presentation. For a fun twist, serve on a toasted bagel to add a different flavor profile.
How can I customize the toppings for these burgers?
Customization is key! You can add sliced tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, or avocado for freshness. For a savory touch, try sautéed mushrooms or bacon. If you enjoy a bit of spice, top with your favorite hot sauce or a creamy aioli. For a classic touch, serve with ketchup and mustard, just like you would with Sloppy Joes Under A 'Bun'.
