Thanks to my good friend I was put on to thepioneerwoman.com. Her name is Ree Drummond and she sounds like a wonderful person. Not only am I obsessed with her website but I love her food! I have made this burger at least three times in the last three weeks. I urge you to try it and you will not be sorry. Not only does it taste amazing, it's also super easy!
Ingredients for four burgers:
2 pounds hamburger
2 red onions
blue cheese or gorgonzola crumbles
Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
Tabasco Sauce
hamburger bun
Start by carmelizing the onions. Slice them up and heat them in a pan over the stove with a little olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. Let them cook on low to medium-low heat for 20 minutes until they are caramelized.
Next start on the hamburger. Season the meat with some salt and pepper and a couple of dashes of Tabasco sauce to desired spice level. Shape hamburger into patties and grill. Toast the buns when you are almost done grilling.
You can have your mayo spicy or not spicy. I prefer it spicy because it nicely offsets the sweetness of the caramelized onions when it is all put together. Just put some mayo in a bowl and add a couple dashes of Tabasco until it's how you like it.
To assemble the burgers: spicy mayo on both sides followed by burger. Place caramelized onions and blue cheese crumbles on top of the burger with a slice of lettuce to top it off. Then enjoy! It is so awesome you will be grilling it the rest of the summer.
