Balsamic Onion Burgers

Ingredients

  • 2 large Vidalia onions, cut in half through the root end and sliced ½” thick
  • 2 T. butter
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1/4 t. black pepper
  • 1/4 t. dried thyme
  • 2 T. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 T. red wine
  • 4 1/4 lb. burgers, cooked however you like
  • 4 whole English muffins, lightly buttered and toasted

Instructions

  • Sauté the onions in butter and oil over medium heat, add the salt and pepper.
  • When the onions are very soft and translucent, add the thyme, balsamic vinegar, and red wine. Turn the heat to low and cook very slowly until they are dark brown, and the liquids are completely reduced to a thick syrupy glaze clinging to the onions.
  • Top burgers with hot onions and serve on the toasted English muffins with your choice of condiments. Any leftover onions will keep in the fridge for a week or so.
