Onion-Wrapped Flying Dutchman Burger

Ingredients (Makes 2 burgers)

  • 2 beef patties (about 1/4 lb each), ground chuck or your preferred beef blend
  • 2 slices American cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1 large onion, sliced into thick rings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 burger buns (preferably brioche or sesame)
  • Optional: ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce, or any preferred burger toppings

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the onions:
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the onion rings and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    • Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until they become golden brown and caramelized. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the beef patties:
    • Season both sides of the beef patties with salt and pepper.
    • Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
  3. Wrap the onions around the patties:
    • Take the caramelized onions and wrap them around the cooked beef patties, creating a nice, thick layer of onions on the sides of the patty. You may need to gently press the onions down to ensure they stay in place.
  4. Toast the buns:
    • While the onions are caramelizing or the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in a dry skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
  5. Assemble the burger:
    • Place the cheese-covered beef patty with the onion wrap on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add your desired toppings like ketchup, mustard, pickles, or lettuce. Top with the other bun.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve immediately with your favorite side, like crispy fries or onion rings.

Optional Variations:

  • Add bacon: For an extra savory crunch, add crispy bacon to the burger.
  • Spicy kick: Add jalapeños or a spicy sauce like sriracha to heat things up.
  • Different cheese: Try cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for a different flavor.

This Onion-Wrapped Flying Dutchman Burger is sure to impress with its juicy patty, gooey cheese, and crispy caramelized onions!
