Description
A delightful burger featuring caramelized onions, juicy beef patties with American cheese, and a flavorful sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Tony Chachere’s or preferred Creole seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 12 ounces of 80/20 ground beef
- 4 slices of American cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons relish
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (for the sauce)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Tony Chachere’s
- Cayenne pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the large yellow onion and slice it into four 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Drizzle each onion slice with olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and sprinkle with Creole seasoning and brown sugar.
- In a pan over medium-low heat, caramelize the onion slices for about 10 minutes on each side until they are deeply browned and tender throughout.
- In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with the remaining Creole seasoning.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions; roll each portion into a ball and smash into thin patties.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through and with a nice crust.
- Place a slice of American cheese over each patty and allow it to melt.
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, relish, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Tony Chachere’s, and cayenne pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth.
- To assemble the burger, place one caramelized onion round on a plate. Top it with a cheesy burger patty and a spoonful of sauce. Add another onion round as the ‘top bun.’
- Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
Adjust cayenne pepper for desired spice level and serve with fries or a salad.
