I love French onion soup. Robyn over at Ranch Wife Chronicles makes a yummy 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.
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.
I made eight patties out of the two pounds of hamburger. Make your patties as big or small as you like, and then put on the grill over a medium 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 the 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...

Yum, this looks like my kind of burger. I love onion soup mix too. I wish I had one of these burgers right now.
Leah, Your onion soup burgers sound great! I have shared pork tenderloin and sausage stuffed jalapeños. Thank you for hosting!
Thanks for hosting! I shared a recipe for spinach tart and also food science information on soaking beans.
I also shared an article on omega 3 for depression.
Yum. I love dressed up burgers.
Does anyone actually make french onion soup with the mix? There are so many cool things to make with it. YOur burgers look delicious. Thank you for sharing on Foodie Friday.
Really....these ARE mouth watering! Can't wait to try them! Thanks for linking up to "Strut Your Stuff Saturday!" We hope to see you again! -The Sisters
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.
