Instructions
To make caramelized onions:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat butter and olive oil.
- Add onions, salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaf. Saute on medium heat for about 30 minutes or until onions are caramelized. Stirring occasionally.
- Add broth, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Stir with a spoon until sugar dissolves. Lower the heat to very low, keep warm until ready to serve.
To make homemade burger patties:
- In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley salt and pepper. Mix it all together with hands or mixer.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into patties. Make sure to make the center a little thinner than the edges for even grilling.
- Grill on a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes on each side. Few minutes before patties are done grilling add sliced cheese on top.
To make caramelized onion burger:
- Place grilled patties over bottom bun, add lots of caramelized onions, and garnish it with fresh arugula leaves, cover with top bun and enjoy!

Notes
- Don’t be alarmed by the onions! Two may sound like a lot, but they cook down significantly and add incredible flavor. I actually recommend making extra—they’re delicious in sandwiches, salads, or even mixed into scrambled eggs the next day.
- Make a dent in the center. Before cooking, press a small indentation into the middle of each patty with your thumb. This helps the burgers cook evenly and prevents that puffy, dome-shaped center.
- Use a thermometer! For safe and juicy burgers, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). No guesswork—just perfectly cooked patties every time.
