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.
