Anyone who knows me knows that I love burgers. I love trying and recreating different kinds of burgers, but I always end up going back to this classic burger recipe. This classic burger holds a lot of falvor with the addition of a tangy special sauce and sweet caramelized onions.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1/2 tsp white vinegar
- 2 lbs ground chuck (60%)
- 4 burger buns
- Pickles
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce ( I left off)
- 4-6 slices of tomato
- 8 slices of American cheese
- 4 russet potatoes
Begin by heating the oil in a pan and add in the onions. Cover the pan, and cook the onions over medium heat for about 30 minutes until they turn golden brown and caramelize. Make sure to stir them often so that they don't burn. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes, then add 1/2 cup of water. Allow the water to evaporate. Set the onions aside to cool.
To make the special sauce, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and vinegar in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside as well.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel and chop the potatoes by halving, halving once more, then cutting into wedges, then strips. Add to a bowl and mix with olive oil and pepper. Toss onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper, and bake for 25-35 minutes. When the fries are finished, remove from oven and sprinkle with salt again.
Add salt and pepper to the meat, mix, and create 8 patties. For best taste, cook these on a gas grill. Once cooked, top with American cheese and allow to melt. Lastly, add the buns and lightly toast.
Spread a tablespoon of the special sauce on the bottom bun. Add the patty, top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and caramelized onions.
