Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional for added flavor)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4-6 burger buns or sandwich rolls
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or melting cheese
- Optional: crispy fried onions or fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil and cook the sliced onions slowly until golden and sweet, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with caramelized onions. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes, season with salt and pepper, then drain excess fat.
- Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and dried thyme. Simmer for 10 minutes until flavors meld and the broth reduces slightly.
- Preheat your oven or broiler. Slice buns in half. Spoon the hot beef-onion mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
- Top with shredded cheese, then place under a broiler or in a hot oven until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fried onions or herbs if desired. Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
Notes
- Caramelize the onions slowly for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Use high-quality beef broth for a richer taste.
- Choose a melting cheese like cheddar or Swiss for optimal gooeyness.
- Toast the buns slightly for added texture and flavor.
