If you love French onion soup, then you will love our French Onion Burger! Seasoned burgers are topped with caramelized sweet onions and melted Asiago cheese. Served on a toasted and buttered English muffin, every bite will remind you of a bowl of onion soup.
French Onion Soup Burgers
This epic burger is part of a fan-frickin-tastic month-long event hosted by Kita over at Girl Carnivore, but opinions are always my own!
A bowl of onion soup is like a bowl of comfort to me. Typically, I would have soup when the weather is cold and chilly.
But with Memorial Day weekend right around the corner, #BurgerMonth in full swing and the warm weather finally here, I’ll be having my onion soup on the grill in the form of a burger! Sweet onions simmer gently in butter with a hint of thyme and garlic and onion season ground beef patties.
Burger Month is a month long event featuring burger recipes from food bloggers. Scroll down for links to all the fabulous participating bloggers and their burger recipes. And be sure to check out our amazing sponsors, Cabot, Anvil & Hammer, New York Beef Council, Red Duck Foods, and Spoonabilities who all have provided prizes for this epic event.
Now fire up that grill and cook those burgers. Top with caramelized onions and the Asiago cheese and heat until that cheese is nice and melted. There you go!
I like my onion soup burgers on toasted English muffins that I’ve slathered with melted butter. Add a bed of lettuce leaves and the finishing touch is a garnish of delicate fresh thyme leaves. Top with ketchup if you like.
