Burger
- 1 1/3 lbs 85% lean ground beef
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 brioche buns
- 8 oz sliced gruyere cheese
- For serving: butter lettuce
Caramelized Onions
- 2 large sweet Vidalia onions thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
instructions
- To make the onions, melt butter with oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add sliced onion and season with salt.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are a deep brown. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix together with your hands until well combined. For four equal sized patties.
- Cook patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side on a medium-high grill or in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, or until your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, top with equal amounts of shredded cheese and cover until cheese is melted.
- To assemble, add a piece of butter lettuce to the bottom halves of the buns. Top with burgers, then caramelized onions. Place the top halves of the buns on top and serve.
