Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo sauce
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 6 burger buns
- 6 cheddar cheese slices
- 6 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid compressing the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into patties about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each patty (this helps them cook evenly).
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Sprinkle with brown sugar and stir. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until caramelized. Remove the onions from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and chipotle in adobo sauce until well combined. Set aside as the chipotle mayo.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the burger patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until they’re golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the cooked burger patty, caramelized onions, and then the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy the smoky, spicy, and sweet flavors that'll bring tears of joy!
