French Onion Burgers

Beef patties crowned with caramelized Vidalia onions and melted Gruyère on toasted potato buns—the taste of French onion soup in burger form.

Ingredients

Steps

1. For the onions: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they start to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in beef broth and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Lower the heat and cook, stirring now and then, until the onions are deeply caramelized, about 20 minutes. Stir in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Take off the heat.
2. For the burgers: Mix the beef, grated onion, and soup mix in a bowl. Form into 4 equal patties.
3. Heat a griddle over medium-high. Cook the burgers 5 to 7 minutes, flip, top with Gruyère, and cover. Continue until the cheese melts and the burgers hit your preferred doneness, 4 to 6 minutes more.
4. Build on toasted buns with the caramelized onions and arugula.
