Instructions
-
Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the onion soup mix and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands to mix everything together thoroughly. The Worcestershire sauce adds a savory richness that pairs perfectly with the beef, while the onion soup mix infuses the patties with deep flavor.
-
Form the Patties: Once the beef mixture is well combined, divide the meat into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are all even in thickness for consistent cooking.
-
Cook the Patties: Heat a grill or a pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness. For a juicy, medium burger, aim for a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside tender.
-
Add the Cheese: Just before removing the patties from the heat, place a slice of jalapeno jack cheese on top of each patty. Allow it to melt for about 30 seconds, creating a creamy and spicy layer on top of the burger.
-
Assemble the Burgers: Once the patties are cooked and the cheese is melted, transfer them to burger buns. Add your favorite toppingsโwhether thatโs fresh lettuce, tomato, onions, or pickles, the choice is yours! The rich flavors of the patty, cheese, and Worcestershire sauce make these burgers stand out.
Tips for the Perfect Onion Burger:
- Grilling or Pan-Cooking: You can easily cook these patties on a grill for a smoky flavor or on the stovetop in a skillet. If you’re using a skillet, a cast-iron pan works wonderfully for a perfect sear.
- Cheese Choices: While jalapeno jack cheese adds a nice spice, feel free to swap it with your favorite cheese, such as cheddar or Swiss, for a different flavor.
- Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Sautรฉed mushrooms, crispy bacon, or even caramelized onions can elevate your burger.
