Ingredients
- 2 onion or ¾ cup pre-caramelized onions, large
- 1 Tablespoon butter or oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- salt
- black pepper
- 3-5 Hamburger Bun depending on burger size
- 1-2 ounces gruyere cheese sliced or grated, or other well melting cheese (optional)
- lettuce optional, for serving
Instructions
- To caramelize onions: In a small frying pan, melt butter or heat oil, then add your thinly sliced onions. Cook on medium, stirring occasionally until onions are a rich golden brown. Stir in water a tablespoon at a time if onions are sticking to pan and stir in any tasty brown bits. This will take about 30 minutes.
- If using pre-cooking onions, re-heat them while the burgers are cooking.
- To make burgers, preheat the grill while you form your beef into the desired number of patties. Salt and pepper the finished patties, then place on hot grill.
- Grill about 3-4 minutes per side (depending on grill temperature and thickness) until cooked through, adding cheese at the end if desired.
- Toast the buns, then place the burgers on then, topping with a couple tablespoons of caramelized onion and lettuce if desired.
- Serve immediately.
