For the Onion Buns
  • 1 large Yellow Onion Sweetness and bun substitute; use white onion for a sharper taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce Adds umami and depth; can substitute with soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps caramelize onions and adds richness; any neutral oil can work.
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar Balances the savory flavor of onions; coconut sugar can be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Tony Chachere’s Seasoning Provides a savory, spicy kick; replace with your preferred seasoning.
For the Burger Patties

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Slice a large yellow onion into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and olive oil, sprinkle with Tony Chachere’s seasoning and brown sugar, and toss until coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add marinated onion rounds. Caramelize for about 10 minutes on each side until deep brown and soft.
  3. Season ground beef with remaining Tony Chachere’s seasoning, form into thin patties, and cook in a separate skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, adding cheese at end to melt.
  4. Mix mayonnaise, relish, Dijon mustard, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper to create the special sauce.
  5. Assemble the burger with a caramelized onion slice as the base, top with a beef patty, drizzle with sauce, and finish with another onion slice.
