These Cast Iron Onion Burgers are so juicy! Topped with melted cheese, horseradish sauce and onions, this is one burger recipe you won’t want to miss.
One of my earliest memories involved a burger and a pretty funny story from my childhood. My Dad loves to cook on the grill. One day he made burgers and I did not like it so I fed it to…my dog. Needless to say, he was not happy. I should have felt bad but the dog looked so happy so I think I remember it being worth it.
As an adult though I am a HUGE burger lover. This includes one that I make in my new favorite kitchen essential, the cast iron pan. That’s why I call these cast iron onion burgers.
What TV shows on Netflix pair well with a juicy burger recipe?
This Mitten Movie Night is kicking off Season 3 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
What beer pairs well with burgers?
The beer: Hoptronix from New Holland.
Do you agree that hops go with everything? I think my husband would because they are his favorite types of beer.
How to make Cast Iron Onion Burgers:
Let’s start with the patties. Take the ground hamburger and add Worcestershire Sauce, A1 Sauce, salt and pepper and mix. Form into 4 burgers.
Shake the dry rub on top, this makes a nice little flavor crust when cooked in the cast iron skillet.
Place the cast iron skillet on the stove top and heat on medium/high for 3-4 minutes to get it good and hot.
Add oil to the pan.
Place onions let sizzle for a few seconds then place burger on top. To cook the burger as evenly as possible cover with a lid.
Cook 8 minutes, that was the ‘sweet spot’ on medium heat for these cast iron onion burgers.
Now flip over the burger so the onions are on top. Cook 6 minutes. Add cheese then cover again and cook an additional 2-3 minutes to melt.
Check the center for the desired coloring. I like my burgers cooked all the way through so the times stated above are what I used. Please Note: Check your pan and stove directions to make sure that you do not consume undercooked meat.
For any burger or sandwich, a toasted bun is a must! Take the buns and smother in some butter and cook on a sheet pan for around 5 minutes.
Now it’s sauce time! I just whipped together mayonnaise and horseradish sauce.
Top the toasted bun with the burger. Smother as much as you like the sauce on the bun.
And here you are…..
