Home Beef French Onion Burger Of Wonder

French Onion Burger Of Wonder

by Jamie
  
Over Labor Day weekend my sister in law Erin 
made me one of the best burgers I’ve ever eating in my whole life. 
Wasn’t that nice of her?
I couldn’t help but come home and make one just for you!
Ok…I know you can’t really reach into the screen and take a bite…
but I wish you could. 
Then you and I could just sit for a while, 
savoring each beefy bite of  this French Onion Burger of Wonder
and we could chat about life
and the blissful temperature of September 
and how we never can seem to get our laundry done (dad-blast it!)
and how our kids just keep getting SO big (who could believe it!)
and how fall is the best season of the year (just nod your head, you know it’s true)
and how life can be scary…
who knows what natural disaster will come next!
(hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husbands too…..)
And then, we’d talk about how
wonderful 
every 
single
 bite 
of 
this 
burger 
is. 
Yup. That’s how it would be if you and I were eating this burger together right this very second….
 
Unfortunately, the Internet doesn’t have any “BeamMeUpScottie” kind of feature that would allow you and I to magically appear together with this burger…. 
(dad-blast it again. I would really like to chat.)
 
I guess the best we can do is just make this burger together. 
Are you up for it?

Oh good!
  Let’s do it. 
 
French Onion Burger Of Wonder
Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 8 burgers
Recipe from the wonderful Erin Jepsen, inspired by Rachel Ray
PRINT RECIPE
PRINT RECIPE WITH PICTURE
Caramelized Onions:
3 large yellow onions
4 T butter
1 C water
2 beef bullion cubes
1/2 C sour cream
Burger:
2 pounds ground beef
2 pkg. Lipton onion soup mix
1 t Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs
salt and pepper
Toppings:
8 hamburger buns
dill pickles
8 slices cheese (Swiss or American work well)
potato chips (regular or ruffled work great)
Mayonnaise
Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce
 
1. Thinly slice your onions. 
2. In a large saute pan melt your butter over medium high heat. 
3. Add your onions to the pan and stir them around a bit so that the butter can be distributed throughout. 
4. Cover the pan, with the lid placed at an angle so that some of the steam can escape. Stir the onions every few minutes while they continue to cook.You are looking for a nice golden color to appear. Plan on them cooking for about 15 minutes. 
5. While your onions cook toss your ground beef into a large bowl. Pour both packages of Onion Soup Mix over the beef. 
6. Shake a little Worcestershire sauce into the bowl. 
7. Crack a couple of eggs into the beef and sprinkle in a bit of salt and pepper. 
8. Stick your hands right into the meat and mix it up thoroughly. Form 8 beef patties, fire up your grill and cook them to your liking. 
9. While your beef is grilling, mix the water and bullion together and pour it over your golden onions. 
 
Turn up the heat to high and let the onions simmer in the liquid until most of it has been cooked out…remove the pan from the heat. 
10. Stir in the sour cream. Mix until combined. 
11. When your burgers are almost done grilling place the cheese on top to melt. 
12. Build your burger! Bun, mayo, BBQ sauce, caramelized onions, pickle, chips (just do it, it makes all the difference….) and beef. Don’t forget the beef. 

Enjoy!!!!

Good luck!

I love your buns ! Those are almost making the decision for me. I hope you check these 'all in one' sessions of recipes, cause I have a question. Question is, do you ever weigh out your dough? If not, how many buns do you get out of your recipe? The buns determine the size of the burger–in my opinion.

Please let me know….I love your blog and I am a faithful 'user' !

Hi Nisey,
I made the buns from my Fabulous French Bread recipe. Here is a link.

http://jamiecooksitup.blogspot.com/2009/10/fabulous-french-bread.html

I think I was able to get 12-15 buns out of the recipe. I shaped each piece into a rosette…you can see a tutorial for rosette shaping at this link…

Good luck! Hope you love the recipes.

I live in Chicago and we FINALLY had a nice enough day to BBQ so this was on the top of my list to make and it was AMAZING! Such great flavors and textures. I was thinking about adding some mushrooms next time, but why fix something when it's not broken. Thanks for the great recipe, it will definitely be a summer fav in my house.

Can someone please tell me me how much (grams or ounces) is a package of Lipton onion soup? We don't have that brand here. Thanks!

Oh my goodness, this looks FANTASTIC! I just came across this recipe on pinterest and almost wish I hadn't because my pregnancy cravings are taking over and I must have this… like now. I want to make it my desktop wallpaper! I love your fun post about it as well, I wish there was a beam me up feature then you could make it for me while I rest my swollen footsies 😉 Thanks for sharing, I will certainly add this recipe to my summer menu!

Hey! I was just searching around online for a french onion burger recipe to make for my family because i get Mon. night for dinner. These looked so amazing that I had to try them buy I also improvised a bit. I put a can of mushrooms in the burger and i didn’t have crisps so i used french fries and used lettuce for the crunch that it needed. It was excellent!

Trying your recipe today. I added some Panko bread crumbs because the meat with just the egg Lipton onion mix was just to slimy and not easy to form a patty

These burgers were INCREDIBLE! My kids loved them and ask for them frequently. My oldest said they were the best burgers he’s ever had and I agree! They were a little time consuming but SO worth it!

[…] Thinly slice your onions. In a large saucepan, melt your butter over medium-high heat. Add your onions to the pan and stir them around. Cover the pan with the lid placed at an angle so that some of the steam can escape. Stir the onions every few minutes while they cook. You want to get a nice golden color. They should cook about 15 minutes. While the onions are cooking, add your ground beef to a large bowl and pour the onion soup mixes in. Add the worcestershire sauce, eggs & salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix it thoroughly. Form 8 beef patties and cook on the grill until done to your preference. If you like your bun toasted, butter and toast them as well (we do!) While your beef is grilling, mix the water and bullion together and pour over the golden onions. Turn up the heat to high and let the onions simmer until most of the liquid has been cooked out. Remove front he heat and stir in the sour cream. When the beef is almost done, add the cheese on top to melt. Build your burger in this order: Bun, mayo, BBQ sauce, beef patty (with melted cheese) onions, pickles, chips, and more mayo and BBQ sauce on top bun if desired.  Notes: I like the refrigerated sliced pickles best. They are more crisp than others. Recipes Source: Jamie Cooks It Up […]
