Blue Cheese Burgers with Caramelized Onions

The blue cheese is by no means overpowering. You do taste it, but it adds such a wonderful creaminess and a little tang,

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium sweet onions halved, sliced thin
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary crushed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup blue cheese crumbled
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 8 lettuce leaves I used iceberg
  • 4 slices tomato

Instructions

  • Note; You can make this recipe on a grill using a griddle or indoors, using a skillet (preferably cast iron).
  • Heat the oil on a grill griddle or in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Toss the onions with the rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Transfer to the griddle or skillet and cook 8 minutes or until starting to soften. Turn and cook another 8 minutes or until the onions are completely soft and caramelized. Add more oil as the onion cooks if they are too dry but do not drench them. Remove to a bowl, cover and keep warm until ready to use.
  • Shape the beef into 4 equally-sized patties. Season well on both sides with remaining salt and all of the pepper.
  • Transfer the patties to the grill or skillet and cook 5-6 minutes per side until done as desired. I prefer thin patties, so I smash my patties onto my griddle as they start to cook. Just before removing the patties, top each with some of the caramelized onion and the blue cheese crumbles.
  • Toast or grilled the buns as desired.
  • Top the buns with the patties. Add lettuce and tomato and serve.
