Ingredients
Sautéed Onions
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced into half moons
- 2 tsp light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Burgers
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (80:20 meat:fat ratio)
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp worcestershire sauce
Toppings
- american or cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese
- sautéed onions
- 8 strips crispy bacon
- 4 fried eggs with soft yolks
- Homemade ketchup
- 4 soft buns
Instructions
Sautéed Onions
-
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot, but not smoking. Add the onions and cook until they begin to soften, about five minutes. Add the sugar, salt and vinegar and stir to combine. Continue to cook until onions are very soft and begin to brown, about ten more minutes.
Burgers
-
Combine the ground meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and worcestershire sauce, taking care not to overmix. Form into four patties.
-
Either heat a cast iron skillet on the stove over med/high heat or turn on your grill to high heat. Cook the burgers for about 3 mins on each side for medium rare or until your desired degree of doneness.
-
Top with cheese after flipping in the last two minutes of cooking.
-
Split open the buns and spread each half with the homemade ketchup, then top with the cheeseburgers, onions, bacon and fried eggs.
Recipe Notes
- Don’t overmix the ground meat. A light hand yields a more tender burger.
- Use your thumb to make a depression in the center of each burger. This allows the burger to expand and cook evenly, without tempting you to press down on the burger as it cooks and release all those gorgeous juices.
- Have most of the toppings prepped and cooked before your grill the burgers. Cook the eggs as the burgers cooked, being careful to keep the yolks runny!
- If you’re using your cast iron skillet and not a grill, heat it until it is hot before adding the burgers to the pan.
