US Wellness Meats Shopping List: Unsalted Grass-fed Butter, Raw Honey, Beef Stock, 85% Lean Beef Burger Patties, Raw Swiss Cheese

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, Or use dairy-free butter to accommodate dairy allergy
  • 2 whole Yellow Onions, Peeled and sliced into rounds between 1/8-to-1/4-inch thick
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 1/2 tsp Everything Bagel Seasoning, Divided use
  • 1 Tbsp Honey
  • 3/4 cup Beef stock
  • 12 oz US Wellness Meats Beef Burger Patties (85% Lean), 2 (6oz each) beef patties; thawed
  • 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise. Can use egg-free mayonnaise to accommodate egg-allergy
  • 1 Tbsp Green Onion (Scallion), Sliced
  • 4 pieces Swiss Cheese, 4 slices; can substitute dairy-free Swiss cheese to accommodate dairy allergy
  • 4 pieces Butter Lettuce, 4 butter lettuce leaves
  • 2 whole Hamburger Buns, I used Maui onion rolls, split

Instructions

  1. Melt butter In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onions to skillet, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Stir in salt and 2 Tsp Everything bagel seasoning.
  3. Next, stir in honey until combined. Add beef stock, stirring occasionally, until stock onions have absorbed beef stock and are golden brown and caramelized about 20 minutes.
  4. Remove the caramelized onions to a bowl; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm (*Use this same skillet to toast the buns over medium heat while the burgers have 2-3 minutes of cooking time left*).
  5. Meanwhile, place a nonstick grill pan over medium heat. Add 2 burger patties to the hot grill pan. Cook 5-6 minutes before turning the burgers; continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes or until desired doneness. During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Add 1 Tbsp water to the bottom of the grill pan, then quickly cover with a lid for 20-30 seconds (this creates steam to quickly melt the cheese).
  6. Combine mayonnaise, remaining 1/2 Tsp Everything bagel seasoning, and green onions in a small bowl.
  7. To assemble the burgers, divide the mayonnaise mixture and spread it over each toasted bottom bun. Top each bun with 2 butter lettuce leaves. Place the cheese-covered burger on top of the lettuce. Divide the caramelized onions and place them atop each burger. Close with the toasted top buns. Serve immediately.

Chef Notes: Burgers can also be made on a gas grill. Preheat the grill to 450 degrees. Grill burger patties on a well-oiled grill rack, turning once, until desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side). Add cheese during the last minute of grilling.  Burger buns can be toasted directly on the grill rack during the last 30-60 seconds of grilling. Caramelized onions can be made up to 2 days in advance, stored in the refrigerator, and then quickly warmed in a skillet before topping burgers. To make gluten-free, substitute your choice of gluten-free burger buns. Nut-free. Egg-free option. Dairy-free option.
