French Onion Burger
This French Onion Burger is perfect for grilling season! Burgers with Lipton Onion Soup Mix are always a family favorite, especially when served with our daughter's favorite tater tots. And recipes with French Fried Onions are always less time consuming than ones with caramelized onions.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground venison or beef
- 1 1-ounce envelope Lipton onion soup seasoning mix
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
- ½ cup Hellman's mayonnaise
- Bibb lettuce
- ½ cup French Fried Onions
- 4 brioche hamburger buns
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground venison, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, and Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Gently knead to blend.
- Form the mixture into four 4-inch patties, about ¾-inch thick. Brush the burger patties lightly on both sides using 1 Tablespoon of olive oil.
- Light a grill and set to medium high heat. Scrape the grill grates well to clean them. When you are ready to grill the French Onion Burgers, dip a paper towel in remaining 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and grab it with tongs. Wipe down the grill with the oily towel and immediately lay the burgers down on the grill grates and cook for 1 minute.
- Turn the heat down to medium, close the grill lid, and grill the burgers for 3 more minutes. Flip the burgers, top each with 2 Tablespoons of mozzarella cheese and close the grill. Cook for about 3 minutes longer until they are medium rare and reach an internal temperature of 130 degrees F using an instant read meat thermometer.
- Grill the buns until lightly toasted, then spread 1 Tablespoon of mayonnaise on each and top bottom bun with lettuce.
- Add the burgers and French Fried Onions. Close the burgers and serve immediately.
