Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moon shapes.
In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium-low heat until melted.
Add the sliced onions, sugar, and salt to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the onions are cooking, prepare the bacon. In a separate skillet, cook the slices of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, chop the bacon into small crumbles.
To make the cheese sauce, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and whole milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in ground black pepper and paprika for added flavor.
To assemble the Retro Burger Topping, layer a generous spoonful of caramelized onions on a cooked burger patty, sprinkle with crispy bacon crumbles, and drizzle the warm cheese sauce over the top.
Serve the Retro Burger Topping immediately on your favorite burger buns for a classic and indulgent retro experience.
