Serves: 6 Regular-Sized Burgers

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 to 2 Onions, sliced
  • 6 Slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 Ounce dry onion soup mix
  • 1 to 2 Pounds ground beef
  • 1 Tablespoon Triple Cream Sherry
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 Large egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ Cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 Cup water
  • Salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Mix onion soup mix, panko breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt and pepper into ground beef
  2. Form into patties and set aside to rest
  3. Caramelize the onions in a pan with one tablespoon of butter and 1/3 cup water. Cook down until onions are translucent and the water is mostly gone
  4. Once lightly browned, add Triple Cream Sherry to the onion pan. Cook down for 1 to 2 minutes longer and remove from heat – then transfer to bowl
  5. Now it is time to make the patties! Using a spoon, put a small dent in the top so they don’t puff up too much while cooking. Add two tablespoons of butter to the pan and cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until desired level of doneness
  6. Once the patties are done, place a slice or 2 of Swiss cheese on top of the patty with your desired amount of caramelized onion. Put on a brioche bun and serve
  7. Voila! You’re done, enjoy!
