French Onion Burgers

Juicy burgers loaded with caramelized Vidalia onions and melted Gruyère on toasted potato buns—French onion soup flavors in burger form.

Ingredients

Steps

1. For the onions: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until they begin to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add beef broth and use a wooden spoon to release any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Stir in vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
2. For the burgers: Combine beef, grated onion, and soup mix in a mixing bowl. Shape into 4 equal patties.
3. Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat. Cook burgers 5 to 7 minutes, then flip, top with Gruyère and cover. Let cook until cheese melts and burgers reach desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes more.
4. Serve on toasted buns with caramelized onions and arugula.
