Ingredients
- 1½ pounds ground beef - any ground beef will do, though I do suggest 90/10 blend for flavor
- 6 ounces brie - sliced
- 2 garlic cloves - minced
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Coarse Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
- 4 slices of thick-cut bacon
- 4 Brioche Buns - split, or lettuce to wrap
- 2 tbsp butter - unsalted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion - sliced
- ¼ cup Merlot - CK Mondavi and Family suggested
Instructions
- In a 5 to 6 quart pan over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add onions and stir often until they're limp and liquid has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes. Add wine; stir occasionally until liquid has evaporated and onions are sweet to taste and very tender, about 30 minutes. Add salt to taste, if desired.
- While onions are cooking, prepare bacon.
- Portion ground beef into 4 patties, season with salt and pepper, garlic, onion powder and Worcestershire.Grill to desired doneness.
- Top each patty with brie slice, and cover until cheese melts. Top with crispy bacon, and caramelized onions.
