under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 1/2 pound ground beef brisket or ground sirloin
1 large red onion, sliced into half moons
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh sage, finely chopped
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
6 slices Gruyere cheese
6 good buns
crisp romaine
sliced dill pickles
sliced red onion
mayonnaise
ketchup

directions

In a medium skillet add olive oil and sliced onions. Over medium heat cook 5 minutes. Add rosemary, sage, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, cook an additional 15 minutes until onions are totally softened.

In a large mixing bowl mix beef and onion mixture. Divide mixture and make into quarter pound patties. On an outdoor grill or indoor grillpan cook hamburgers 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. For the last minute, put a slice of the gruyere on top of burger and cover with an upside down metal cake pan to melt cheese.

Put mayonnaise on bottom bun and ketchup on the top. Build the burger as desired with lettuce, pickles, and/or onions.

cook's notes

I was hungry for burgers last night and french onion soup today, so I decided to merge the two of them. This burger really tastes like the soup we all so love while appeasing the satisfying the meat lover as well.
