Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Splash water
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
2 cloves garlic, grated
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
A handful fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 pound Cambazola blue cheese, thinly sliced
4 crusty rolls, split, lightly toasted
2 handfuls arugula leaves, coarsely chopped

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper and cook until caramelized and sweet, about 20 minutes. Stir sugar and water into onions then add mustard, combine and turn off heat.

Combine meat with garlic, Worcestershire, parsley, salt and pepper, form 4 patties thinner at the center and thicker at the edges for even cooking. Also, the burgers will bulge as they cook, this will give the cooked burgers an even thickness. Cook patties 8 minutes turning once for medium doneness, 1 to 2 minutes less for rare patties, 1 to 2 minutes more for burgers that are medium well. In the last minute of cooking time, top burgers with a few slices of Cambozola blue.

Place burgers on bun bottoms and top with some arugula and mustard glazed onions, set tops in place.

Fantastic - The Best
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Saw Rachel make this and they looked so good I had to try them. We made them for company and cooked them on the grill. ... Everyone said they were the best burgers ever! (Used Alton Browns No Knead Bread recipe to make homemade buns) These burgers are perfectly balanced with the peppery arugula, sweet onions, and the creamy, but, slight bite of the cheese. Don't let the price of the cheese scare you - you don't need a lot. We will be making them again and again, I'm sure.Read more

Best Rachel Ray Burger Yet
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband loves blue cheese but I'm not a big fan. On the episode she mentions that the cheese tastes like a blend of blue... cheese and brie (MY favorite) so I thought I'd give it a try. We both loved it. The cheese is tangy without being overwhelming and blends beautifully with the other flavors. The burger itself was moist and flavorful. We were done well within 30 minutes with only one skillet and one bowl dirty! This is my kind of meal. Thank you, Rachel!Read more

Moist and Flavorful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Awesome recipe. Make sure to start cooking the onions first if you want to be done in 30 minutes. We cook our burgers on... the Foreman grill instead of a skillet and they come out nicely.Read more

Rachael, The Burger Queen
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Yummo, indeed! I've yet to make a Rachael Ray burger that isn't delicious, but the combination of this burger's... sweet-mustard onions and blue cheese sent me over the rainbow! It's right up there with her Bur-goo Burger. Keep them coming, Rachael!Read more

MMMMM....One of the best burgers I've ever had
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't add the cheese because I don't eat dairy, but the burger itself was so juicy and delicious! The parsley definitely... made it, which surprised me, because I usually leave out parsley in recipes. I also substituted the carmelized onions for onion rings (frozen), and the combination of flavors was perfect! Will definitely make again.Read more
