Smokehouse Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare Balsamic Onions

   In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sliced onions. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and cook for another 5 minutes until caramelized. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.

3. 3

   Grill the Burgers

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the burgers are grilling, place the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until toasted.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a grilled patty with melted cheese. Top with balsamic onions, sliced jalapenos, and a generous drizzle of BBQ sauce. Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately.
