Caramelized Sweet Maple Fig Onion Grilled Gourmet Beef Burger
Urban Recipes
By Christina Jeffrey
It's Thursday and we are almost to the weekend and I think we are all in need of a good burger! I am so excited to share this burger with you!
Caramelized Sweet Maple Fig onion Grilled Gourmet Organic Beef Burger with melted aged cheddar, on a bed of arugula, grilled peameal bacon, and garlic chipolte aioli, topped with thin slices of tomato and red onion, garlic pickles and my caramalized sweet maple fig onions.
This idea originated from my love of figs and my husbands craving for a gourmet burger for his birthday. These onions are so fragrant, sweet and the perfect topping to take this burger to a whole new level!
