Description

Succulent French onion soup merges classic comfort with burger innovation, creating a mouthwatering culinary adventure. Caramelized onions, melted gruyère, and rich beef patties promise a delightful twist you’ll savor with every indulgent bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 1 pound ground beef

Cheese:

  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Binding and Flavor Ingredients:

  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Butter for toasting buns

Instructions

  1. Combine ground beef, onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and beef broth in a mixing bowl, blending ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated.
  2. Shape the meat mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, ensuring uniform thickness for consistent cooking.
  3. Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F) for optimal burger searing.
  4. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side, achieving desired internal temperature and developing a rich caramelized exterior.
  5. During the final minute of cooking, drape a slice of Swiss cheese over each patty, allowing it to melt completely and become slightly bubbly.
  6. Lightly butter hamburger buns and toast them until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
  7. Transfer melted cheese-topped patties onto toasted buns, creating a savory and indulgent burger experience.
  8. Serve immediately while the burgers are hot and cheese remains gooey, ensuring maximum flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Maximize flavor by using high-quality ground beef with at least 20% fat content for juicier burgers.
  • Chill patties for 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape and prevent crumbling on the grill.
  • Caramelize additional fresh onions as a topping to enhance the French onion soup essence of the burger.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace breadcrumbs with crushed pork rinds or almond flour to maintain the patty’s texture.
