How to make Ultimate BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with Caramelized Onions
- Prepare Caramelized Onions: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until deeply golden brown and very soft. Stir in brown sugar during the last 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Cook Bacon: While onions cook, cook bacon in a separate skillet or bake in the oven until crispy. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- Form Patties: Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and form into patties about 1/2 inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent bulging. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook Burgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
- Toast Buns: Lightly toast the brioche buns, cut side down, on the skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Assemble Burgers: Spread BBQ sauce on both halves of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a tomato slice (optional). Add the cheesy burger patty, top with 2 slices of crispy bacon, a generous spoonful of caramelized onions, and cover with the top bun. Serve immediately.
