Ingredients:
2 large yellow onions, halved, very thinly sliced
¼ cup Suan’s Scotch Bonnet Onion Preserves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Braum’s Salted Butter
2 pounds American Heritage Beef Co. ground beef
1 tablespoon Daddy Hinkle’s Instant Meat Marinade dry seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 slices Braum’s American cheese
4 Braum’s hamburger buns
2 tablespoons Griffin’s Yellow Mustard
Directions:
- Thinly slice onions. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter, heating to warm. Add onion slices and onion preserves, cooking until tender.
- Combine ground beef with Daddy Hinkle’s seasoning and garlic powder. Shape into 8 portions. Divide onion mixture between the burger patties.
- Heat skillet or griddle to medium-high heat. Place each patty, topped with onions, onto the hot skillet, smashing with a spatula or burger press. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flip, cooking until burgers are done and edges are crisp. If you like cheese, add a slice of cheese to the burgers, letting it warm through and slightly melt.
