Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 large sweet yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 4 slices Gruyère cheese (or Swiss)
- 4 burger buns (soft yet sturdy)
- 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Caramelize the onions by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown and sweetened (about 20-25 minutes).
- While onions are caramelizing, mix ground beef with salt and pepper in a bowl and form into four patties.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Gruyère cheese on each patty to melt.
- Combine panko breadcrumbs with remaining butter and sprinkle over melted cheese before removing from heat.
- Assemble burgers on buns with caramelized onions and drizzle with beef broth if desired.
