Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices Gruyère or Swiss cheese
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 hamburger buns
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional for garlic butter buns)
- Additional butter for buns
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply caramelized and sweet, about 20-25 minutes. If the onions start to stick, deglaze the pan with a splash of beef broth.
- Season the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Cook the patties in a separate skillet or on a grill to your desired doneness.
- For garlic butter buns (optional), mix minced garlic with additional butter, spread on the buns, and toast until golden. Place a cooked burger patty on each bun bottom. Top each patty with a generous portion of caramelized onions and a slice of cheese. Broil the assembled burgers for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle fresh thyme over the melted cheese. Cover with the bun tops and serve immediately.
