🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 2 medium yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 pieces cheese slices (optional)
• 1 assortment lettuce, tomato, and pickles (optional toppings)
• 1 assortment mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard (optional condiments)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the vegetable oil.

3. Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook until they are golden brown and caramelized. This will take about 10-12 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands to gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

5. Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, pressing a small indentation in the center of each to help prevent puffing during cooking.

6. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

7. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness.

8. If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

9. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

10. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom bun, topping with caramelized onions, and adding your preferred toppings and condiments. Cover with the top bun.

11. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful onion burgers!
