Sliders

Caramelized Onions

Method

Caramelized Onions

  1. 1

    Prepare the onions

    Thinly slice the large onion and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the onions

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

  3. 3

    Add sugar and vinegar

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar over the onions. Continue to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are deep golden brown and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat

    Once caramelized, remove from heat and set aside.

Sliders

  1. 5

    Prepare the beef mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Mix until just combined.

  2. 6

    Form the patties

    Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

  3. 7

    Cook the patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach desired doneness.

  4. 8

    Assemble the sliders

    Toast the slider buns lightly if desired. Place each patty on a bun, top with caramelized onions, and cover with the top bun.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Serve the sliders warm with your favorite condiments or sides.
