Onioniest Burgers

MDS is a burger fan. When we eat out, he frequently orders burgers. Recently, we ate at Scratch on Lake in Oak Park and found a burger called the French Onion Burger. The burger was inspired by French onion soup. Of course MDS had it without the cheese. It was a very oniony burger. So this recipe is inspired by that tasty burger.

When I made these burgers, I made two large half-pound burgers. But you could easily make these burgers smaller or even slider size burgers. For fancy burgers, I prefer pretzel buns or brioche buns. But I also like English muffins for burger buns. I usually broil the burgers, but you could use any cooking method that you might like.

Onioniest Burger 

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 envelope onion soup mix

Toppings

• caramelized onions
• crispy french fried onion

In a bowl, blend the ground beef, onion, egg, and onion soup mix.  Form into burgers of your preferred size. Place burgers on a pan and broil for about 10 minutes. Flip burgers and broil for 5-10 minutes more. Serve the burgers on the buns of your choice topped with caramelized onions and french fried onions. Enjoy!
