Blue Cheese Burger with Carmelized Onions

I'm back! Sorry for the lack of updating on the blog. It's been a crazy few months with my sister's wedding, visiting family and finding out my husband and I are expecting our first child in June. I won't bore you with the details of being completely turned off to delicious food for a month and a half but will reward you with a tasty burger recipe.

Ingredients

1lb ground beef (20% fat)
8 oz blue cheese crumbles
3 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp dried dill weed
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp sugar
salt and pepper
4 rolls

Directions

In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, half the blue cheese, dill weed, salt and pepper. Set aside to allow the flavors to marry.

In a medium bowl, mix ground beef, the remaining half of blue cheese, salt and pepper. Form four (4) patties. Heat grill to medium high heat.

Heat a skillet, over medium low heat. Melt butter in skillet, add sliced onion. Saute for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, begin to cook burger patties on grill, approximately 5 minutes for each side. After 10-12 minutes, add sugar to onions, stir to coat. Allow the onions to cook until golden brown. Remove from skillet, drain on paper towel.

Once burgers are cooked completed, place each burger on a roll, top with a quarter of the blue cheese sauce and onions.
