Onion Smothered Burgers

I love onions!   This burger combines my love of gravy and onions to make an oniony topping that will make any burger better!

Onion Smothered Burgers

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 whole red or white onion
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 heaping Tbsp. cornstarch + 1/4 cup water

Form your burgers and cook them in a skillet until they are under cooked to your desired consistency.  Remove burgers temporarily.  Thinly slice one whole onion (red or white, your choice) into the skillet.  Add salt, ground pepper, minced garlic, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.  Saute' for 5 to 8 minutes, or until onions become translucent and soft.  Re-add the burgers to the pan and add 1 cup of water.  Cook  for another 4 to 5 minutes.  During the last few seconds of cooking, beat the cornstarch into the 1/4 cup of water and drizzle into the pan.  It will become thick quickly, so stir immediately and remove from heat once it is thickened.

Serve your burgers on a plate and heap them with onions, or put them on a bun.  But, beware they will be one messy, delicious burger!

Enjoy!
