Zuger Burger Recipe

Ingredients:For the Burger Patties:

1 lb (450g) ground beef (preferably with a good fat content, around 20%)

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

                    

For the Toppings:

• Swiss cheese slices (Gruyère or Emmental)
• Caramelized onions (see instructions below)
• Pickles
• Lettuce
• Tomato slices

For the Caramelized Onions:

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for extra caramelization)
• Salt and pepper to taste

• For Assembly:

  • Burger buns (preferably buttered and toasted)
  • Dijon mustard or your preferred sauce
  • Ketchup (optional)
  • 
    
    
    

  Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Caramelized Onions:

     • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
     • Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes.
     • Add sugar if using, and continue to cook until the onions are deeply golden and caramelized (another 10-15 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

     • Prepare the Burger Patties:

       • In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
       • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties slightly larger than your burger buns. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

     • Cook the Patties:

       • Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
       • Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
       • In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
       • 
         
         
         
         
         

       • Toast the Buns:

         • While the patties are cooking, butter the inside of the burger buns and toast them on a skillet or grill until golden brown.

       • Assemble the Burgers:

         • Spread Dijon mustard or your preferred sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
         • Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top.
         • Add caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce, and tomato slices.
         • Top with the other half of the bun.

       • Serve:

         • Serve your Zuger Burgers immediately while hot. Enjoy with your favorite sides like fries or a fresh salad!
