Recipes:
Caramelized Onion Cheeseburger
Ingredients:
For the Burger Patties:
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
For the Caramelized Onions:
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Pinch of salt
Other Ingredients:
4 sesame seed burger buns
4 slices of your favorite cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or American)
1/4 cup burger sauce or mayo-based sauce (optional)
1 tbsp butter for toasting buns
Instructions:
Caramelize the Onions:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil.
Toss in the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally, cooking until the onions are golden brown and caramelized (about 20-25 minutes). Add sugar for extra sweetness if desired. Set aside.
Form and Cook the Burger Patties:
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness (adjust time for desired level). Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast the Buns:
Spread butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
Assemble the Burgers:
Spread burger sauce on the bottom bun. Place the cheesy burger patty on top, then add a generous heap of caramelized onions. Finish with the top bun.
Serve:
Serve immediately with fries, chips, or a fresh salad on the side.
This juicy, flavorful burger is perfect for any burger lover and guaranteed to satisfy your cravings!
