These French Onion Soup Burgers bring the comforting, savory flavors of French onion soup into a delicious burger. Topped with sweet, caramelized onions, melted cheese, and a juicy patty, it’s the ultimate comfort food with a twist!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Β½ cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or Β½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of GruyΓ¨re or Swiss cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional for garlic butter buns)
  • Additional butter for buns

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and sugar, cooking and stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized and sweet, about 20-25 minutes. Add a splash of beef broth if the onions start to stick, deglazing the pan.
  2. Prepare the Burger Patties: Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
  3. Cook the Patties: In a separate skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties to your desired level of doneness.
  4. Assemble the Burgers: If desired, prepare garlic butter buns by mixing butter with minced garlic and spreading it on the buns. Toast until golden.
  5. Top and Broil: On each bun bottom, place a cooked burger patty. Top with a generous portion of caramelized onions and a slice of cheese. Broil the assembled burgers for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh thyme over the cheese, cover with the bun tops, and serve immediately.
