Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 brioche burger buns
• 4 cheddar cheese slices
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
• 1 cup potato chips (for added crunch)
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onions and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, dijon mustard, and chopped pickled jalapeños to make the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the pan to melt the cheese.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on a dry skillet or in the toaster until golden brown.

Step 6

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of the sauce on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and the cheesy burger patty. Top with caramelized onions and a handful of potato chips for crunch. Finish with the top bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy your Never Boring Burgers!
