Kentucky Fried Chicken KFC Hamburger from the 1960's

In the mid to late 1960's The Colonel sold hamburgers.
I remember buying them at KFC's in northern and southern California.
It was a single patty burger between griddle toasted hamburger buns.
Condiments included slices of fresh tomato, white onions sliced into thin rings,
a leaf of iceberg lettuce and Thousand Island dressing. You could order french
fries on the side.

Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6 plain hamburger buns - toasted on the griddle
1/3 to 1/2 cup of Thousand Island Dressing (recipe below)
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
6 leaves of iceberg lettuce, large pieces torn to fit bun (not chopped)
1 medium white onion, sliced into thin separated rings

Directions:

Preheat a frying pan over medium heat on stove top.

Divide the 1 pound of ground beef into six even portions. Form into patties the size of the bun.
Lightly salt and pepper each patty and cook for 2 or 3 minutes on the first side.

Flip the patties over and cook for an additional 2 or 3 minutes until a meat
thermometer reads 165 degrees F in the center of each hamburger patty.

After cooking the hamburgers, remove excess fat from pan and lightly toast the top and bottom
buns on the skillet.

Here's how to assemble a KFC Burger:

Spread a tablespoon or two of Thousand Island dressing on bottom toasted bun.
Place a tomato slice or two on bottom bun.
Add iceberg lettuce leaves on top of tomato slices.
Place cooked hamburger patty on lettuce leaves.
Top with a couple of rings of sliced white onions.
Cover with toasted top bun.
Repeat 5 more times.

Makes 6 KFC Hamburgers.

I remember KFC selling regular char-broiled type burgers in northern California (San Jose) in about 1965, when I was a child. I remember they were served on a regular bun with lettuce and thousand island dressing (dressing contained sweet relish and diced onions). They stopped offering them shortly after that.

i guess its the evolution of it all,we (in canada)didnt get the burgers till later (typical)but i worked at ours in the 80s and the one i remember had ham on it and a white sauce (maybe mayo?)they even called it the canadian.
