French Onion Soup Burgers for Christmas 🍔🧅

Savor the rich flavors of French Onion Soup Burgers, a delightful twist on a classic that will elevate your holiday gatherings! These juicy burgers topped with caramelized onions and melted cheese are perfect for impressing your guests.

Ingredients

    • 1 lb ground beef

    • 2 large onions, thinly sliced

    • 2 tablespoons butter

    • 1 teaspoon sugar

    • ½ cup beef broth

    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

    • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • 4 slices of Gruyère 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. If the onions start to stick, add a splash of beef broth to deglaze the pan.

    1. Prepare the Burger Patties: In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.

    1. Cook the Patties: In a separate skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties to your desired level of doneness.

    1. Assemble the Burgers: If desired, prepare garlic butter buns by spreading a mixture of butter and minced garlic on the buns and toasting until golden.

    1. Build the Burgers: On each bun bottom, place a cooked burger patty. Top each patty with a generous helping of caramelized onions and a slice of cheese.

    1. Melt the Cheese: Broil the assembled burgers for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    1. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh thyme over the melted cheese, cover with the bun tops, and serve immediately.
