Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)

1 large onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)

1/4 cup beef broth

4 slices Gruyère cheese

4 toasted brioche burger buns

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Add thyme and pour in the beef broth, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Make the Patties: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with a bit of salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

      Cook the Burger Patties: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium, or until desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of Gruyère cheese to melt.

        Assemble the Burgers: Spread Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Place the cheesy burger patty on top, followed by a generous spoonful of the caramelized onion mixture. Top with the other half of the bun.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a touch of color and flavor. Serve your irresistible French onion soup burgers with a side of crispy fries or a simple salad.
