• 2 * 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 1/2 * 2 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion (about 1 large)
• 1 * 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

• 12 * 12 (1.3-ounce) mini sandwich buns

Preparation

Step 1

1- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sugar to pan; cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat; cook 8 minutes or until tender and browned, stirring occasionally. Keep warm.

2- Preheat broiler.

3- Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and lamb in a large bowl. Divide lamb mixture into 12 equal portions; shape each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place patties on the rack of a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; place rack in pan. Broil 6 minutes, turning once after 3 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 3 minutes.

4- Broil buns, cut sides up, 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Place patties on bottom halves of buns; top each patty with about 1 1/2 tablespoons caramelized onion and about 1 teaspoon blue cheese. Cover with top halves.
