ONION BURGERS

Steps:

• Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Leave it there for 5 minutes. Loosely gather a handful of ground beef and slip it into the pan. Repeat 6 times. The burgers should be freeform lumps.
• With the side of a spatula, push the burgers into a semblance of a round. After about a minute, pile on all the onions and then, with as much force as you can manage, smash the onions into the meat. Again, work the sides of the patties into a semblance of a round. Cook another minute and then flip. Season with salt. Smash the burgers again, hard.
• Place burger on bottom half of the bun and spread with mustard. Spread the cheese on top half of the bun and place on the burger.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onions and cook until golden brown (5-7 minutes), stirring often.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce and 1 Tbsp of the chipotle sauce, stirring well to evenly coat the onions. Then remove the onions from the heat and keep warm.
• Combine the ground beef, cilantro, salt, and 3 Tbsp of the chipotle sauce (Use 2 Tbsp for milder burgers) and shape into 4 burgers.
• Grill over medium-high heat. (Approx. 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. 5 minutes per side for medium-well.).
• Top each burger with a slice of pepper-jack cheese and grill until the cheese melts.
• Place the burgers on toasted buns, and top with the spicy onions.
• Add any burger toppings you're fond of. I like a little bit of horseradish mayo on my burgers.
