Ingredients

Units Scale

Onion Wrap

  • 2 large sweet onions (Vidalia or Walla Walla), peeled and sliced into thick rings (1/2 to 3/4 inch wide)
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil (for sautéing onions)

Beef Patties

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary), finely chopped

Filling

  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 smoked bacon strips, cooked crispy

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onion Rings: Carefully peel the large sweet onions and slice into thick rings about 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide. Separate them gently to keep rings intact. Lightly sauté the rings in butter or olive oil over medium heat until golden and slightly caramelized to soften and bring out sweetness.
  2. Form the Beef Patties: In a mixing bowl, gently combine ground beef with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and optional herbs. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender. Shape the beef into patties slightly smaller than the onion rings. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty for even cooking.
  3. Add Cheese and Bacon: Place a slice of cheddar cheese and a crispy bacon strip on one patty, then top with a second patty to create a stacked, cheesy, bacon-filled burger that locks in flavor and juiciness.
  4. Wrap Patties with Onion Rings: Gently wrap each stuffed patty with the sautéed onion rings, using toothpicks if necessary to secure the layers. The onions will form a tender, flavorful envelope during further cooking.
  5. Cook the Wrapped Burgers: Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the wrapped burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning carefully to avoid breaking the onion wrap. Cook until beef reaches preferred doneness and onions are caramelized to perfection.
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the burgers rest off the heat for a few minutes to redistribute juices. Carefully remove toothpicks if used and serve hot for an ultimate flavor experience.

Notes

  • Choose sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla for best caramelization and mild sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the ground beef to maintain tenderness.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning onion wrap and ensure thorough cooking.
  • Use toothpicks to secure the onion wrap during cooking, remove before serving.
  • Let burgers rest before serving to allow juices to redistribute for moist bites.
