Patio Daddio's County Fair Onion Burgers

Author: Robyn

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Ground beef 80/20, please
  • 4 large Yellow sweet onions chopped to 1/2"
  • ¼ cup Canola oil
  • 16 slices American process cheese
  • 8 Hamburger buns
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp Black pepper ground fresh

Instructions

  • Form the meat into eight equal-sized balls (1/4 lb each).
  • Flatten each ball of meat between wax paper to about 1/4" thick and about 5" in diameter.
  • Stack the wrapped burgers in a gallon zip-top bag and freeze until you're ready to grill.
  • Heat a large heavy pan over medium-high heat, then add the oil.
  • Add the onions, and half of the salt and pepper, then saute until the onions are translucent and just starting to brown, about 15 minutes.
  • While the onions are cooking, start your grill and prepare for direct grilling at medium-high heat (350-375º).
  • Add the Worcestershire to the pan, stir well, and cook another minute.
  • Cover the pan, remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Season one side of the burgers with the remaining salt and pepper.
  • Grill each burger for about two minutes per side then top each with a slice of cheese, 1/4 cup of onions, another slice of cheese, and another 1/4 cup of onions.
  • Move the burgers to one side of the grill and quickly toast the buns on the other side.
  • Gently slide each burger onto a bun and serve with your side of choice. I served mine with slabs of grilled zucchini."
