Recipes:
Juicy Cheeseburgers with Caramelized Onions
Ingredients
For the patties:
1 lb ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the caramelized onions:
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sugar (optional, for sweetness)
For assembly:
4 sesame seed buns
4 slices of cheddar cheese
Lettuce, tomato, and pickles (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the caramelized onions:
Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add sliced onions and stir occasionally for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and soft. Add sugar (if using) for extra sweetness. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the patties:
In a bowl, mix ground beef with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast the buns:
Lightly toast the buns on the grill or in a pan for added texture and flavor.
Assemble the burgers:
Place the cooked patties on the bottom buns. Top with caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles (if using). Add the top bun and press gently.
Serve:
Enjoy these juicy, cheesy burgers warm with a side of fries or chips!
These cheeseburgers with sweet caramelized onions are packed with flavor and perfect for any occasion. A true classic!
