Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onion Bun: Peel the large yellow onion and slice it into four 1/2-inch thick rounds. Drizzle each slice with olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of seasoning and brown sugar. In a pan over medium-low heat, slowly caramelize the onion slices for about 10 minutes on each side, until they are deeply browned and tender through the middle. Set aside for burger assembly.
  2. Make the Burger Patties: In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with Creole seasoning. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and roll into balls. Smash each into thin patties. Heat a pan over medium-high and sear the patties for 2-3 minutes per side, until cooked through with a nice crust.
  3. Add Cheese: Once the patties are nearly done, lay a slice of American cheese over each one. Allow the cheese to melt before removing the patties from the pan.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, relish, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Tony Chachere’s, and cayenne pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Place one caramelized onion round on a plate, top with a cheesy burger patty, add a spoonful of sauce, then another onion round as the ‘top bun.’ Repeat for all burgers.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side for dipping, and enjoy your Flying Dutchman Burger!

Health Benefits:

This burger, while indulgent, offers some nutritional benefits. Onions are a great source of antioxidants and vitamin C, supporting immune health. Ground beef provides a solid dose of protein and iron, which are essential for muscle building and overall strength. The spices in the sauce, such as garlic powder and smoked paprika, can provide anti-inflammatory properties. However, due to the rich ingredients, it’s best to enjoy this burger in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
