French Onion Burgers are a pub menu staple that you can make at home in 25 minutes! It's the perfect marriage of two comfort food favorites. Sear the burgers, then simmer to finish in condensed French onion soup. The soup seasons the burgers perfectly with the flavors of beef stock and onions. Melt some cheese on top (we like American but Swiss is great, too!). You can even toast the buns to get that toasted bread with melty cheese everyone loves about French onion soup! Make these French Onion Burgers at home instead of ordering takeout- you won't be sorry!
Step 1
Season the beef with salt and pepper. Shape the beef into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) burgers.
Step 2
Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook until well browned on both sides (to prevent sticking- make sure the skillet is hot before adding the beef). Remove the burgers from the skillet. Pour off any fat.
Step 3
Stir the soup in the skillet and heat to a boil. Return the burgers to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the burgers are done. Top the burgers with the cheese and cook until the cheese is melted. Serve the burgers on the buns with the soup mixture for dipping.
