Instructions
For the onions: Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are completely soft and start to caramelize/brown. Don’t rush this. It should take around 30 minutes. Near the end add salt, butter, and balsamic to get some additional color and sweetness. If the pan is really dry, add a splash of water.
Optionally, add a spoon of fig jam to the skillet for extra sweetness. Remove caramelized onions from the heat.
For burgers: Add Worcestershire sauce to meat and shape into four 8-oz patties. Put a thumb-sized divot in the center of each patty and season well with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic.
Grill burgers over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 140˚F for medium burgers.
Serve burgers on toasted buns with burger sauce, lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onions on top.
