Ingredients

4 giant - garlic knots
8 ½ ounces - ground beef
4 slice - melting cheese
butter
1 - onion
⅓ oz - butter
1 tbsp - sugar
salt
3 tablespoons - mayonnaise
1 tsp - Dijon mustard
1 tsp - lemon juice
1 tsp - chipotle paste
1 tbsp - caramelized onions
salt & pepper

Instructions

Heat butter in a pan over medium-low heat. • Add sliced onions and 1 tbsp sugar. Cook slowly for 15–20 minutes until deep golden brown. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Add a pinch of salt at the end and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, chipotle paste, and 1 tbsp of the caramelized onions. Season with salt and pepper, and stir until creamy.
Roll the beef into 60 g balls (2 per burger). Heat a cast-iron pan or griddle over high heat. Place a beef ball on the hot surface and smash it flat using a burger press or spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Flip once crispy, add a slice of cheese, and cook until melted.
Slice the garlic knots in half like buns. Toast the inside on a hot pan with a bit of butter until golden.
Spread chipotle sauce on the bottom bun. Add one cheesy patty, a spoon of caramelized onions, the second patty, more sauce, and top with the garlic knot bun.
