Method

Preparing the Beef Patty

  1. 1

    Step 1: Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Form Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a small indentation in the center of each.

Caramelizing the Onions

  1. 3

    Step 3: Cook the Onions

    Slice the onions thinly. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and salt, cooking for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and caramelized.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 4

    Step 4: Grill the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Step 5: Add Blue Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place blue cheese on top of each patty and cover to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Step 6: Assemble

    Toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the burger patty with melted blue cheese, caramelized onions, tomato slices, and top with bourbon BBQ sauce. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
