FRENCH ONION SOUP BURGERS

Brown butter in large heavy bottomed skillet, add onions and cook slowly over low heat, stirring infrequently, until onions are caramelized and slightly crispy, about 45 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. While onions cook create 8 thin (about 1/2 inch) hamburger patties. For best results try to retain as much of the original grind of the meat. Slice the Gruyere cheese into 12 thin slices (enough to cover four burgers) and grate the remaining cheese. Form four burgers by placing a rounded tablespoon of cheese onto four of the patties and top with remaining patties, pressing edges to seal in the cheese. Shake enough of the bouillon to cover both sides of burger and repeat with the fresh ground pepper. (do not add salt, the cheese and the bouillon is enough sodium). Grill burgers over a hot charcoal grill about 6 minutes per side, adding the sliced gruyere after flipping the burgers. Toast the buns on the grill. Mix the mayo and the dijon mustard in a small bowl and top one side of grilled buns with the mixture. Top burgers with onions and serve

FRENCH ONION SOUP BURGERS

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until some of the fat has rendered and the bacon is just starting to crisp, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the onion, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is very crisp and the onions are deep golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. If the pan is getting too dark, add 2 tablespoons of water and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan; continue to cook until all the water has evaporated.
• Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, whole-grain mustard and Dijon in a small bowl. Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on the inside of each bun. Shape the ground beef into four 6-ounce patties, each about 1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a deep depression in the center of each patty. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat a griddle (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat and grease with some butter. Place the buttered buns on the griddle and cook until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Move to a cutting board. Place the burgers on the griddle and cook, undisturbed, until the bottoms are well browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the burgers and top with 1/2 cup of cheese each. It is ok if it spills over -- it will get crispy that way. Cover with a large heat-proof bowl and continue to cook until the cheese is completely melted and starting to crisp on the griddle, about 2 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the edges of the cheese are crispy, about 2 minutes. (This timing should result in medium-rare to medium burgers.) Transfer to the bottom buns.
• Top the burgers with the caramelized onions and bacon. Spread the Dijonnaise on each top bun, then sandwich together and serve.
