Mixing caramelized onions right into the beef is our new favourite burger flavour booster.
Ingredients
2 tbsp canola oil, divided
1 onion, finely chopped
3/4 tsp salt, divided
1 kg medium ground beef
8 thin slices smoked cheddar, about 65 g
4 brioche buns, sliced and toasted
1/2 cup Chatelaine Burger Sauce, (recipe link below)
8 strips cooked bacon
8 onion rings, baked from frozen
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 dill pickles, thinly sliced
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add 1 tbsp oil, then onion and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 12 to 15 min. Transfer to a plate to cool, about 20 min. Wipe pan clean with paper towels.
Stir cooled onions into beef and mix, just until combined. Divide mixture into 8 portions. Flatten each into a very thin patty. Sprinkle burgers with remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Season with fresh pepper.
Heat same frying pan over medium-high. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil, then 3 to 4 patties in batches. Cook until cooked through, 4 to 6 min per side. Top each patty with cheese.
Spread buns with Chatelaine Burger Sauce. Layer with patties, bacon, onion rings, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles.
