Description

Burgers can get boring but the combination of blue cheese and purple onions caramelized with balsamic vinegar really takes the burger to a whole other level.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds 80/20 Ground Beef
  • 2 whole Purple Onions, Sliced Thin
  • ¼ cups Butter
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • ¼ cups Balsamic Vinegar, Approximately
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 4 whole Hamburger Buns, Like Pepperidge Farm Onion Buns
  • 4 Tablespoons Mayonnaise, Or Enough To Spread On Buns
  • 1 tub Blue Cheese Crumbles Or Block Of Blue Cheese

Preparation

Put butter in a skillet over medium heat. Get the onions going by slicing them thinly into rings and then again once across the rings to make half circles. Put in a skillet with the butter and toss around. Sprinkle a little salt over them. Cover with a lid and let the onions cook down until they are reduced in size by half. Stir them occasionally. Once they have cooked down (add more butter if necessary), add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Basically, you are caramelizing the onions and then making a balsamic reduction.

Meanwhile, cook your hamburger patties and toast the buns.

To assemble, spread mayo on the buns and put on a patty, a spoonful of the onions and as much blue cheese as you can pile on and then the bun. You know how to do that!
