Beef Patties with Caramelized Onions

Total time: 35 minutes
    We use 10oz and make 2 nice burgers.  If you want more meat just increase everything else (not the caramelized onions) proportionately. 

  Ingredients:

• 10oz (300gr) ground beef
• 2 tbs bread crumbs
• 1 tbs Dijon-style mustard
• 1 tbs red wine   (or beef stock or ketchup
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 2 medium onions
• 2 tbs butter
• 1 tbs brown sugar
• 2 tsp Dijon-style mustard

 Instructions:

• Mix bread crumbs, mustard, red wine, garlic powder and thyme. 
• Add beef and mix thoroughly - hands are best.  Shape into 2 or 3 patties. 
• Cut onions in half then into 1/4 inch (.65cm) think slices.  
• Heat butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add onions, cover and cook for 5 minutes. 
• Uncover  onions and sauté until browned, stirring frequently, another 15 minutes. 
• Add patties (moving onions out of the way but leave in pan) and sauté 5 - 7 minutes per side. 
• Remove burgers and keep warm. 
• Add sugar and mustard to onions and stir until well blended and sugar is melted. 
• Spoon over burgers and serve.
