Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 large Yellow onion
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until evenly mixed. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the burger patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each burger patty and allow it to melt.
While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns in a separate dry skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a simple burger sauce.
To assemble the burgers, spread a layer of the burger sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a cheese-topped burger patty on top, followed by a generous portion of caramelized onions. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad. Enjoy!
