For the Burgers
  • 1.5 pounds ground chuck 80/20 meat-to-fat ratio
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt can use table salt in smaller amount

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil can use butter
  • 4 pieces brioche buns or whole wheat/gluten-free
For the Baconnaise Sauce

Method
 

Caramelizing Onions
  1. Thinly slice the sweet onions. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir occasionally for 45 minutes until soft and golden brown.
Preparing Baconnaise
  1. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, cooked bacon, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir until blended and creamy, then set aside.
Making Patties
  1. Divide ground chuck into eight equal portions and roll into balls. Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Smash each ball into a patty with a spatula and season. Cook for 3-4 minutes until crispy.
Assembling Burgers
  1. Flip the patties and immediately top each with American cheese and caramelized onions. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
Building the Burgers
  1. Spread baconnaise sauce on each side of the toasted brioche buns, layer with lettuce, cheese patty, onions, and top bun. Serve immediately.
