Mac and Cheese Burger

Form your ground chuck into a nice ball while you caramelize your onions using your preferred method. Set the ball of meat aside—we’ll smash it when we are ready to make the burgers. Season the top of the ball with a generous pinch of that salt.

Bring up the heat on a cast iron skillet to a medium high heat. Add the burger into the middle, and let the ball cook for a few minutes, until it starts to brown and caramelize.

With a large spatula smash the burger down, completely flattening it. Let it cook another minute, then flip it over. You should have an awesome, caramelized burger. Season with a bit more salt, then add the caramelized onions to the top, and cover the onions with the mac and cheese. After a couple of minutes, flip the burger, allowing the mac and cheese to warm through, and get a nice crisp on the noodles.

Remove the burger from the skillet and place onto your sliced bun. Get ready to dig in. This burger is pretty darn amazing. It is everything you expect in a great cheeseburger but with a great texture from the mac and cheese. If you happen to have any leftover mac and cheese, try adding it to the top of your next burger. Let me know what you think of this creation, the mac and cheese burger. Hope you enjoy.
