Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 large sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon TABASCO Chipotle Pepper Sauce
1 tablespoon beef broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 tablespoon dark brown suga
6 1/2 ounces light garlic-and-herbs spreadable cheese
4 ounces Point Reyes blue cheese or other favorite blue cheese, crumbled
1 pound ground chuck
1 pound ground sirloin
1/3 cup minced sweet onion
1/4 cup Zinfandel
3 tablespoons minced fresh oregano, thyme, and basil (any combination)
1 1/2 teaspoons spicy seasoned salt
Vegetable oil, for brushing on the grill rack
12 California avocado slices
Balsamic vinegar, for brushing on the avocado slices
Spicy seasoned salt, for sprinkling on the avocado slices
12 pre-cooked bacon slices
6 (4 1/2-inch) soft Kaiser rolls, split
6 romaine lettuce leaves
6 (1/4-inch-thick) large tomato slices

Steps:

  • • Pairs well with Sutter Home Zinfandel.
  • Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
  • To make the caramelized onions, combine the onion, pepper sauce, broth, vinegar, oil, garlic, and brown sugar in a 10-inch nonstick, fire-proof skillet, cover with a lid, and place on the grill rack. Cook the onion mixture for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and most of the liquid is evaporated. Remove the pan from the grill and set aside.
  • To make the spread, combine the cheeses in a fire-proof saucepan, cover, and set aside.
  • To make the patties, combine the chuck, sirloin, onion, Zinfandel, herbs, pepper sauce, and seasoned salt in a large bowl. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the rolls.
  • When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium. Meanwhile, place the saucepan with the cheese spread on the outer edge of the rack to warm the cheese mixture just until it reaches a very soft, spreading consistency. Remove the saucepan from the grill and set aside.
  • During the final minutes of grilling the patties, brush the avocado slices with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Arrange on a rimmed nonstick perforated grilling pan coated lightly with oil and grill alongside the patties for 1 to 2 minutes, turning as necessary. During the final 30 seconds, add the bacon slices to the pan. When the avocados are nicely grilled and the bacon is crisp, remove from the grill. When the patties are cooked, remove from the grill, stacking to keep warm. Place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill rack to toast lightly.
  • To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture over the cut sides of the rolls. On each roll bottom, place a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, a patty, an equal portion of the caramelized onions, 2 avocado slices, and 2 bacon slices. Add the roll tops and serve.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Burger Recipes     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup olive oil, or as needed
1 large sweet onion, sliced
1 pound ground chicken
½ cup panko bread crumbs, or to taste
6 slices deli ham, or more to taste, diced
1 large egg
½ green bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 slices Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
4 whole wheat hamburger buns
4 tablespoons hot, sweet mustard (such as Inglehoffer®)

Steps:

  • Coat the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with oil. Turn heat to high and wait until oil is hot but not smoking. Add onions and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low or medium-low. Continue to cook, flipping onions every 8 minutes and adding oil if necessary to keep them moist, until dark and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While the onions are caramelizing, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine ground chicken, bread crumbs, diced ham, egg, bell pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix to combine, being careful not to work the meat too much. Form into 4 patties.
  • Grill on the preheated grill over direct heat until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side, adding a slice of Swiss cheese to each in the last minute. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the burgers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Spread butter on the inside of the hamburger buns and grill, face-down, until toasty, about 3 to 5 seconds.
  • Place the patties with cheese on the bottom buns, top with caramelized onions, spread mustard on the top buns, and serve.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Caramelized onions:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds onions (2 large), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rings
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
Burgers:
1/2 pound sliced bacon, frozen 1 hour
1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 to 8 thin slices extra-sharp Cheddar
4 hamburger buns or alternatives such as kaiser or brioche rolls
Accompaniments:
Sliced tomato
Soft-leaf lettuce leaves or baby arugula
Special Equipment
An instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • For caramelized onions:
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook onions with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, covered, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add vinegar, scraping up the brown bits on bottom of the skillet, and cook, uncovered, stirring, until liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl and keep warm, covered.
  • For burgers:
  • Prepare grill for indirect-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas; see grilling procedure ).
  • Meanwhile, cut frozen bacon crosswise into eight sections and distribute evenly in bowl of a food processor, then pulse until finely chopped.
  • In a large bowl, distribute bacon evenly over beef and drizzle mixture with Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  • Combine mixture as gently and thoroughly as possible with your fingers (be careful not to overmix). Form into 4 patties, about 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
  • Brush cut sides of buns with butter.
  • Oil grill rack, then sear patties directly over coals (or lit burner or burners), covered only if using a gas grill, moving to area of grill with no coals (or over shut-off burner) if flare-ups occur, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Move burgers to area with no coals (or over shut-off burner) and grill, covered, turning once, until they reach 155°F on instant-read thermometer, about 4 minutes total. Top with cheese to taste and heat, covered, until it melts and burgers register 160°F, about 1 minute. Transfer burgers to a clean platter.
  • Grill buns, buttered side down, until grill marks appear, about 1 minute.
  • Assemble burgers with buns and accompaniments, topping cheese with caramelized onions.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: When avocados are ripe, they are easier to scoop out of their skins and have a creamier texture.
  • Grill the avocados: Grilling the avocados adds a smoky flavor and helps to hold them together.
  • Use a sturdy bun: A sturdy bun will help to hold up the burger and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings to the burger, such as bacon, cheese, lettuce, or tomato.
  • Make sure the chipotle onions are caramelized: Caramelizing the onions will help to bring out their sweetness and flavor.
  • Serve the burgers immediately: The burgers are best served immediately after they are made, so that the avocados are still warm and gooey.

Conclusion:

Grilled California Avocado BLT Burgers with Caramelized Chipotle Onions are a delicious and unique burger recipe that is sure to impress your friends and family. The avocados add a creamy texture and smoky flavor to the burger, while the caramelized chipotle onions add a sweet and spicy kick. The burgers are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
