I love French onion soup. However, in the summer, I am just not in the mood for soup. So, I created my burger alternative to my favorite soup with this French Onion Soup Burgers. These all-beef patties are full of onion flavor and cheese for a new favorite French onion soup burger for French onion lovers.
French onion soup flavors are found in so may of my recipes because I am so obsessed with onions. Here are some of my French onion inspired recipes including French Onion chicken thighs, French onion beef stroganoff casserole, and French onion beef stew.

How to Make French Onion Burgers?
This is also easy to make, but you got to get your onions caramelizing. So start by melting a stick of butter in a large skillet and then put 2 onions, sliced over the butter and cook over a medium low heat for 20-30 minutes.
Once the onions have browned up you want to pour about a third of cup of water over the onions to get all the caramelized goodies off the bottom of the pan. Cook on low till water evaporates out and then shut off the heat.
Now onto the burgers...
Start with two pounds of hamburger and a packet of onion soup mix.
Pour the onion soup mix over the hamburger along with a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.
I mixed this all together and decided I needed an egg to help keep the burgers together.
Press into patties that are slightly larger than the buns you plan on using.
Place the French onion burgers onto the grill at 350 Fahrenheit, not in completely direct heat.
I cook them for about 8 minutes before flipping them to help ensure they stay together. You don't want to flip your burgers a bunch of times. While the burgers are cooking slice up a loaf of Italian bread to use as the buns. I used the Italian bread that has everything seasoning. Don't have bread, just grab buns.
Because I am butter-obsessed, I dipped one side of the bread in the caramelized onions to soak up some of the butter and then put the bread on the grill to toast up.
A minute before the burgers are ready to come off the grill put a piece of provolone cheese on each burger to melt a bit.
Then pull the burgers off the grill and place onto your buttered, toasted bread.
Top with your caramelized onions and another piece of bread.
It was mouthwatering...

This may seem random, but I want to thank you so much for the Rural King connection for boxes of El Milagro chips!! I was checking out your salsa recipe and saw the mention of the chips. I grew up in Austin, Tx with a local El Milagro, Their chips are the best for sure. I'm going to head over for some tomorrow. Thanks again, you made my day!

I was just looking for this intmroafion for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Normally the top sites are full of garbage.
