Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil.
Add sliced onions, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply browned and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
While onions are cooking, preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. Form into 4 equal patties.
Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached. Add cheese slices in the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast buns lightly on the grill or in a skillet.
Assemble burgers by placing patties on bottom buns, topping with a generous portion of caramelized onions, and finishing with the top bun. Add optional condiments if desired.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Use Gruyère for a more authentic French flavor.
Caramelizing onions takes time; don’t rush the process.
These burgers pair well with a light salad or crispy fries.
