French Onion Soup Burgers Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 2 large onions, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1/2 cup beef broth
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 slices of Gruyère or Swiss cheese
– 4 hamburger buns
– 1 clove garlic, minced (optional for garlic butter buns)
– Additional butter for buns
Directions:
1. Caramelize the Onions:
– In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
– Add the sliced onions and sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized and sweet, about 20-25 minutes.
– Add a splash of beef broth if the onions start to stick, to deglaze the pan.
2. Prepare the Burger Patties:
– Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
– Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
3. Cook the Patties:
– In a separate skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties to your desired level of doneness.
4. Prepare the Buns:
– If desired, prepare garlic butter buns by spreading buns with a mixture of butter and minced garlic, then toasting until golden.
5. Assemble the Burgers:
– On each bun bottom, place a cooked burger patty.
– Top each patty with a generous helping of caramelized onions and a slice of cheese.
– Broil the assembled burgers for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
– Sprinkle fresh thyme over the cheese, cover with bun tops, and serve immediately.
