The hamburger patty itself is just a large very thin piece that is simply seasoned with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Then I made my famous caramelized onions with my favorite, Vidalia. I chop the onion or just cut it into rings, add a little extra virgin olive oil, a healthy amount of sugar, brown if you have it, but regular sugar does just fine, and a good dash of balsamic vinegar to give it that kick with an extra layer of mouth watering flavor.
To put this sandwich together I took the bun and on one side put my olive oil mayo and the other side Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce. Then the burger, with sliced tomato, crisp lettuce, raw onion rings, and topped with the caramelized onions. A friend who tried it took his first bite and said " wow, the flavors ", then after finishing it he said it was the best tasting burger he' s ever had!
Of course you can add cheese, I just didn't happen to have any when I made these, but you can experiment with different cheeses and you can always add more interest to the meat if you choose. Enjoy!
