Onion Burgers Recipe

Updated on April 25th, 2019

Here is another delicious hamburger recipe – onion burgers. These were a fantastic change from the burgers I’m used to making. The highlight of this recipe is the beer braised onions. They really added an amazingly sweet flavor to the burgers. This recipe uses a bit of beer, so if you are not into cooking with alcohol, this recipe probably isn’t for you. Not only does beer go into the onions but it goes into the burger patties as well. The patties get most of their flavor from beer, garlic, and Dijon mustard. I grilled the burgers but they could be fried in the pan as well if you prefer. Another great addition to this burger is to add slices of crispy bacon on top. Sadly, I didn’t do this but I wish I had! You can also add an assortment of optional condiments such as lettuce and tomato if you choose. Enjoy.
