Augie’s Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Caramelized Onion Aioli

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until softened and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. In a bowl, mix the cooled onions with mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In the same skillet, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Form the Patties

   Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Cook the Patties

   In the skillet, add the beef patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place 2 slices of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   Toast the brioche buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of caramelized onion aioli. Place one cheeseburger patty on each bun, followed by bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
