The secret to our classic beef burger is in the blend of meats used. Ground chuck beef is ideal for its fat content, which guarantees your burger stays juicy and flavorful. The toppings are up to you, but we suggest keeping it classic with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, pickles, onions, and a slice of melty cheese on a toasted sesame bun. Of course, no burger is complete without a slathering of ketchup and mustard.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground chuck beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 8 slices of American cheese
• 4-6 sesame seed buns
• Butter for toasting buns
• 1 head of lettuce
• 2 ripe tomatoes
• 1 red onion
• Dill pickle slices
• Ketchup and mustard

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. While your cooking surface is heating, divide your ground beef into 4-6 even portions (depending on your desired serving size) and shape into patties. Season each patty generously with salt and pepper.
3. Add vegetable oil to your heated grill or skillet. Place your patties onto the cooking surface and cook for about 4 minutes on each side for a medium-rare burger, or longer if you prefer your burger more well-done.
4. While your burgers are cooking, butter your sesame seed buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a separate skillet.
5. Once your burgers are cooked to your desired doneness, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and let it melt slightly.
6. Assemble your burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, pickle slices, and a dollop of ketchup and mustard. Place the top half of the bun on top and serve immediately.

Extra Tips:

The key to a great burger isn’t to overwork the meat when forming your patties, as this can make your burger tough.

Also, be sure to only flip your burgers once while cooking to guarantee a juicy, flavorful patty. If you prefer your bun toasted more, feel free to leave it on the grill or skillet for an extra minute or two.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds of ground beef
• 1 packet of French onion soup mix
• 2 large onions
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 cup of Gruyère cheese, grated
• 4-6 brioche buns
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing the onions. Slice the onions thinly, then heat the butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and caramelized. This process will take approximately 30-40 minutes.
2. While the onions are caramelizing, you can prepare the burger patties. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and French onion soup mix. Mix well to guarantee the soup mix is evenly distributed throughout the meat.
3. Shape the beef mixture into burger patties, slightly larger than your buns. You should have enough for 4 to 6 burgers, depending on the size you prefer.
4. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. During the final minute of cooking, add a generous amount of grated Gruyère cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt.
6. Toast the brioche buns lightly, then assemble your burgers. Place the cheesy patty on the bottom bun, top with a generous helping of caramelized onions, and cap it with the top bun.

Extra Tips:

To make certain your burgers are juicy and flavorful, don’t press down on the patties while they’re cooking. This squeezes out the juices, leading to dry burgers.

Also, using brioche buns instead of regular burger buns will add a touch of sweetness and a richer flavor to your French Onion Burgers.

Finally, don’t rush the caramelizing process for the onions. The slower they cook, the sweeter they’ll be, enhancing the overall taste of your burgers. Bon appétit!
