4. While onions are cooking, form the ground beef into 4 patties and season each with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties to your preferred doneness – about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
6. In the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese. If cooking inside, you can also pop the skillet under a broiler for a quick melt.
7. Place each cooked patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top the patties generously with the caramelized onion mixture.
8. Cap it off with the top bun and serve these French Onion Soup Burgers piping hot.
Variations & Tips
– If you’re catering to picky eaters, simply set some caramelized onions aside before adding the garlic and thyme to keep it simple for the kiddos.
– For a lighter option, use ground turkey instead of beef and opt for whole wheat buns.
– For an extra pop of flavor, mix a little Dijon mustard or horseradish cream into your burger mix before forming the patties.
– Always rest your patties for a few minutes after cooking to let those delicious juices redistribute.
