In a large bowl, mix together 2 Pounds of ground beef, 1/2 Cup chopped sweet onion, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped cold butter; shape into 6 equal sized patties, make a dent in one side of each patty, and place on parchment lined baking sheet; set aside until ready to grill
  • 4. In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat for 1 min; add the 4 Cups of thinly sliced sweet onions and let cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally; add in 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and continue to cook until caramelized (15-20 minutes); remove from the heat and set aside until ready to assemble the burgers

  • 7. Once all the ingredients are ready to go, it’s time to assemble the burgers: take the bottom buns and spread 1 tablespoon of the French onion dip on each; next top each bun with 1/4 Cup of the arugula, 1 slice of the beefsteak tomato followed by 1 burger patty and 1/4 Cup of the cream cheese and chive chips; take the top buns and spread the remaining French onion dip on each bun (1 tablespoon per top bun); place the top bun on top of the chips and they are ready to serve
