Description

French Onion Burgers are a hearty meal featuring juicy beef patties topped with sweet caramelized onions and creamy brie. Perfect for a fast, comforting dinner that the whole family will love.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 lbs grass-fed 85/15 ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dehydrated minced onions
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 brioche buns, toasted in butter
  • 8 oz double cream brie, cut into slices
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter and olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, toss well, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove the lid, reduce heat, and stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until onions are deeply caramelized. Stir in dijon and balsamic, then set aside.
  3. Finely chop half of the cooled caramelized onions and combine with ground beef, Worcestershire, dijon, dehydrated onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Form into patties.
  4. Mix mayo, dijon, horseradish, and honey in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  5. Preheat the grill to 450°F and oil the grates.
  6. Grill the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side. Top with brie slices and let rest.
  7. Spread sauce on toasted buns, place patties, top with reserved onions, and add arugula. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure your grill is clean to prevent sticking.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
You can substitute arugula with spinach if preferred.
