Grilled Garlic Bread Cheeseburgers with Wisconsin Mozzarella and Caramelized Onions


  • Yield: 4 burgers 1x

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. To serve the cheeseburgers, first mix the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl.
  7. 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.
  8. Devour and enjoy 🙂
