Chipotle Mayo
This is super easy just mix the mayo and chipotle in adobo (I put the rest of the container in a Ziplock freezer bag and freeze for more uses) in a small bowl add salt and pepper to taste and woolah! This mayo is fantastic on sandwiches, burgers, and even hot dogs. Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Tips for making caramelized onions.
This is a quick version of caramelized onions. It can take up to 45 min to an hour to make them. If you have the time by all means do it. But this way turns out great too. They add the best flavor to the burgers.

Recipe Tips:

Always use 20% fat ground beef. Fat means flavor and always makes an amazing burger.
Don't be too rough while shaping the patties. Gentle hands mean a more tender burger.
Season with salt and pepper and a little garlic powder that's all you will need for the seasoning.
Cook burgers in a super hot skillet I use a cast iron.

Skillet Burger with Caramelized Onions

A delicious burger with crunchy crust, melted cheese, and caramelized onions. Smothered in a creamy chipotle mayo.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 20% fat)
2 onions sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
pepper
garlic powder
8 slices cheese
4 Buns

Chipotle Mayo

1 cup Mayonnaise
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

For the Chipotle Mayo

In a small bowl add the mayo, chipotle, and adobo sauce. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
Divide the meat 4 patties and place on a plate, using two-finger gently press the center down slightly. This ensures that the burgers don't shrink too much. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat a skillet/griddle I (I use cast iron) on medium-high heat add butter and sliced onions. Cook about 5 minutes tossing the onions every minute or so. Then reduce heat to medium-low and sprinkle some salt and pepper and cook for about 15 minutes, tossing every couple minutes so they don't burn. Remove to a bowl.
Return the skillet/griddle on high heat. Add olive oil and place patties in skillet. Cook without moving for 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes and add cheese, cover and cook another 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
Serve on soft buns with chipotle mayo. Top with lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onions.
