Description
A savory burger loaded with sweet caramelized onions and garlic, topped with a creamy herb sauce that brings all the flavors together.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices provolone cheese (optional)
- For the Creamy Herb Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the caramelized onions: In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until deeply golden and caramelized. Add minced garlic in the last 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Prepare the creamy herb sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, chives, dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Season ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, making a slight indent in the center of each.
- Grill or pan-sear patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or until desired doneness. If using cheese, add a slice to each patty during the last minute of cooking.
- Toast burger buns lightly on the grill or in a pan.
- Assemble burgers: Spread creamy herb sauce on the bottom bun, add the patty, top generously with caramelized onions and garlic, then close with the top bun.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the caramelized onions cool slightly before piling on the burger. You can also add lettuce, tomato, or pickles if desired.
