Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large sweet onion
1 Tablespoon butter
salt
1lb lean ground beef
1 egg, whisked
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons BBQ sauce, divided
1/4 cup gluten free panko-style bread crumbs
pepper
2oz cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4" cubes

Steps:

Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Turn heat down if onions start to burn. Set aside to cool slightly - can be made ahead of time.
