Preparation

Step 1

Caramelize the onions: Combine olive oil, butter and sliced onions in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook slowly until onions are a caramel color, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes. Once onions are complete, remove onions from skillet. Set aside. (If you don’t have the time to caramelize the onions or want to reduce calories, just saute them in a little oil until softened and lightly browned… they’re tasty as well!)

Mix beef with green chiles, minced roasted garlic, salt & black pepper. Form 4 patties. Chill for at least 10-15 minutes. Preheat grill. Salt burgers just before putting on grill surface and cook burgers until desired doneness is achieved, turning only once. Just before serving, place a slice of cheese on each burger. Serve on toasted buns with your choice of toppings.
