French Onion Soup Burger 🍔🧅
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 4 burger buns
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Onions:
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown.
- Stir in the thyme and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Shape the Patties:
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each.
3. Cook the Burgers:
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the burgers and place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty.
- Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, or until the burgers reach your desired doneness and the cheese is melted.
4. Assemble the Burgers:
- Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
- Place each burger patty on a bun and top generously with the caramelized onion mixture.
5. Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
