Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Cook the Knockwurst

    While the onions are caramelizing, grill or pan-fry the knockwurst sausages over medium heat until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and slice into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into two burger patties.

  4. 4

    Cook the Burgers

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

  5. 5

    Make the Bleu Cheese Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the bleu cheese over low heat until it becomes a smooth sauce. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly. Place the cooked burger patty on the bottom half of the bun, top with caramelized onions, sliced knockwurst, and drizzle with bleu cheese sauce. Cover with the top half of the bun.
