Essential ingredients
Like any other burger, these are made with different layers of deliciousness that create the most magical treat. The following lines contain more about the ingredients.
BBQ sauce—For this recipe, make homemade BBQ sauce from scratch. You'll need ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard, and other ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. You could use store-bought BBQ sauce, but we prefer homemade, as we can adjust it 100% to our preference.
Caramelized onion makes all the difference, adds texture, and has a lovely subtle sweetness. You'll need onion, olive oil, butter, rosemary, honey, and vinegar for the caramelized onion.
Meat - We used Premium beef burger patties from our local Z'Dežele for this recipe. Choose your favorite beef patties if you can't find it in your country. Feel free to prepare them in a pan or on the grill.
Buns - feel free to use any burger bun you like. We made ours from scratch. We usually make them once a month and freeze them until needed—this way, we always have them at hand. This Potato Burger Bun is our favorite.
Cheese - we always choose Cheddar cheese as it melts perfectly.
Tomato - fresh slices or tomatoes are taking this burger to another level.
Storing
Always make Bbq Burger with Caramelized Onion fresh from scratch. It only takes a couple of minutes and it will result in the most juicy burger.
Feel free to make the homemade brioche burger buns or potato burger buns ahead.

premium burger
Place a large pan over high heat. Add a teaspoon of oil, and when the oil is hot, add the patties. Cook them until your preferred doneness is reached or for 3 - 4 minutes on each side for medium. First, cook for 2 minutes on each side, then flip twice to get it evenly cooked and delicious. Place two slices of Cheddar cheese on top of each beef patty, cover with a lid, and cook for a minute for the cheese to melt. Remove from the heat and set aside for 3 - 5 minutes for the cooking process to stop. Optionally, grill the patties on the grill.
