Cheddar Onion Straw Burger

A Cheddar Onion Straw Burger is a plump and juicy beef patty loaded with cheddar cheese and piled high with homemade onion straws and a dollop of Sweet Fire Sauce.

In my mind, it is always a good time to make a great burger! Whether you are firing up the grill on the patio or flippin burgers on the stove, this burger will get your mouth watering quick!

First, whip up a batch of homemade Spicy Onion Straws. You will pile these high on the burger, so make tons of them so you can serve them as a side too! You will not regret it…I promise.  Then, mix up a big bowl of Sweet Fire Sauce, and set aside so the flavors blend.

Directions

Prepare Spicy Onion Straws, set aside or in oven on 200 degree setting to stay warm. Prepare Sweet Fire Sauce and set aside while cooking the burgers.Wash leaf lettuce and tear leaves into 8 pieces. In a large bowl, break up the ground chuck into small pieces. Season beef with salt and pepper to taste. Form beef into 8 patties, 1/4 pound each. Either on the grill or pan on the stove, cook each burger to desired temperature. Add a slice of white cheddar cheese on top of each burger and cook until the cheese is melted and dripping. Set aside.

Toast both the top and bottom of the buns, then start  assembling the Cheddar Onion Straw Burger. Top each bun bottom with lettuce and a cheeseburger patty, then start piling on the Spicy Onion Straws.
