Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 2 medium Yellow onions
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp Sriracha
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 1 cup Pickles (optional)
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties approximately 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Peel and thinly slice the onions. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden brown. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set the caramelized onions aside.
In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce and Sriracha together to create the spicy BBQ sauce. Adjust the level of spice to your preference by adding more or less Sriracha.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with vegetable oil. Add the burger patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the pan to melt the cheese.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the spicy BBQ sauce on both halves of the buns. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a tomato slice, the cheeseburger patty, a generous scoop of caramelized onions, and pickles if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or coleslaw. Enjoy your Old School Meets New Cheesy Onion Spicy BBQ Burger!
