Burger Ingredients

Caramelized Onion Jam Ingredients

Method

Caramelized Onion Jam Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onion

    Slice the large onion thinly to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Start Caramelizing

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with 0.5 tsp of salt. Cook slowly for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are soft and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add Sweetness and Flavor

    Stir in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes until the mixture is thick and jam-like. Remove from heat and set aside.

Burger Directions

  1. 4

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix gently and form into two patties.

  2. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook 4 strips of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 6

    Cook the Burgers

    In the same skillet with bacon drippings, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 7

    Add the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place 2 ounces of gorgonzola cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  5. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    On each brioche bun, place a burger patty, top with caramelized onion jam and crispy bacon. Add the top bun and serve immediately.
