Yield: 4
French Onion Sliders
Ingredients
French Onion Beef Patties
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 onions, finely sliced
- ¼ cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Burgers
- 8 slider buns
- 8 slices Gruyere cheese
- ¼ green leaf lettuce
Instructions
- To make the caramelized onions, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally until they begin to brown. Reduce the heat and continue to cook until they are soft and completely light brown. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and thyme leaves. Continue to cook until all of the moisture has evaporated. Allow it to cool completely before using.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, most of the caramelized onions, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Shape the meat into small slider patties. Refrigerate the patties for at least 20 minutes before cooking. Grill over medium-high heat until the burgers are golden and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Just before removing the patties from the grill, top with the Gruyere cheese and continue to cook until the cheese has completely melted.
- Assemble the sliders on the buns and top with the lettuce and remaining caramelized onions.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
