Caramelized Onion and Blue Cheese Slider Burgers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 slider buns
- 6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 2 pounds of ground beef, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Form the mixture into 12 small patties.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the beef patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a generous amount of caramelized onions and a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese. Close the grill lid to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
- Toast the slider buns on the grill for about 1 minute, or until lightly golden brown.
- Assemble the slider burgers by placing a beef patty with caramelized onions and blue cheese on each bun. Serve hot and enjoy!
The history of slider burgers with caramelized onions and blue cheese can be traced back to the early 20th century when the slider, a small, juicy burger, gained popularity in the United States. The addition of caramelized onions and blue cheese elevated the classic slider to a gourmet level, adding a rich and savory flavor profile. Chefs in the Midwest, particularly in cities like Chicago and Minneapolis, are known for their expertise in creating delicious slider burgers with caramelized onions and blue cheese. These chefs have perfected the art of caramelizing onions to bring out their natural sweetness and pairing them with the bold, tangy flavor of blue cheese. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in upscale gastropubs and trendy burger joints across the country. The key to getting this dish right lies in the quality of the ingredients - from the perfectly seasoned beef patty to the creamy blue cheese and the expertly caramelized onions. For those looking to recreate this dish at home, a famous alternative method involves mixing the blue cheese directly into the ground beef before forming the patties, resulting in a decadent, melty surprise with every bite. Whether enjoyed at a restaurant or homemade, slider burgers with caramelized onions and blue cheese are a true indulgence for any burger enthusiast.
