Description
A garlicky burger on a grilled garlic bread bun topped with caramelized onions and melted Wisconsin Mozzarella.
Ingredients
For the Caramelized Onions:
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
For the Cheeseburgers:
- 1 lb organic ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 thick slices of Wisconsin Mozzarella
For the buns:
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
To assemble:
- 3 tablespoons mayonaise
- 1 tablespoon your favorite mustard
- sliced tomato
- fresh arugula
Instructions
- Over medium-low heat, melt butter and olive oil. Add sliced yellow onion and sauté, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Add the teensiest pinch of sugar and continue cooking for 20-30 minutes more until onions are nicely caramelized and golden in color. You might need to tinker with your heat throughout the process to ensure that the onions don’t burn.
- Meanwhile, place the ground beef in a large bowl along with the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Carefully mix everything in and divide the meat into 4 equal portions. Shape the meat into burger patties and set on a dinner sized plate.
- Butter each half of the hamburger buns with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle evenly with the garlic salt and place the buns on a plate as well.
- Fire up the grill to medium-high heat and let it preheat for at least 5 minutes. When grill is nice and hot, add patties and grill 2-3 minutes each side. Top each burger with a thick slice of Wisconsin cheese and cover the grill so the cheese melts and gets all gooey- about 1-2 minutes more.
- When you put the cheese on the cheeseburgers, it’s also a great time to put the buns, buttered side down, on the grill so that they get nice and toasty!
- To serve the cheeseburgers, first mix the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl.
- Slather each bun with desired amount of mustard mixture. Add cheeseburger, a handful of fresh arugula and tomato slices if desired and top with 1/4 of the caramelized onions.
- Devour and enjoy 🙂
