Smashburger French Onion Burger Copycat Recipe

May 28th was National Hamburger Day, and I’m hoping you ate your burger in celebration of America’s favorite food holiday. Talking of America, it is believed that Americans consume about 50 million burgers every year. That means we are each consuming around 3 burgers a week, which translates to a whole lot of beef!

Anyone would, therefore, be forgiven to assume that many of us actually took advantage of May 28th to eat more than our fair share of burgers. No need to worry though, a little indulgence never hurt anyone.

If you have been to any Smashburger location, you will agree that they make some of the most delicious burgers money can buy – that are not only tasteful but that are also made fresh to order. But the best thing about their menu items is that most of them are so easy to make at home. Here is a copycat recipe of their French onion burger.

Ingredients

4 Onion Buns
1 White onion sliced thin
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Pounds Ground beef
8 Slices Swiss cheese
1/2 Cup Boursin cheese

Directions

Prepare burger seasoning, and use for the recipe. In a small bowl combine the kosher salt, ground black pepper, and garlic salt (2 teaspoons each).
Saute onions with butter on the grill. Sprinkle burger seasoning on the onions. Cook the onions until they are tender. Do not brown the onions.
Butter each of the buns and cook the buns on the grill. Cook the buns on the grill until they lightly brown.
Form 8 balls of the burger meat. Heat the grill to about 350 degrees. Place the balls on the grill. Smash burger meat onto the grill. Season with burger seasoning. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flip and continue to cook on the other side. Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese on each burger while they are on the grill.
Build the burger by building up from the bottom by adding the two burgers with cheese on each bun. Then top with grilled onions, and spread some Boursin cheese on the top bun. Top the burger with the top bun.
