The Best Burger Topping
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 TBS olive oil
- 2 TBS butter, divided
- 1 tsp salt (1/2 tsp salt if your butter is salted)
- 2 sweet onions, halved and thinly sliced
Optional:
- 8 oz. Shiitake or Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tsp Magic Mushroom Powder or 1 tsp Chili Powder
Instructions
- In large sauté pan over medium high heat, add olive oil and 1 TBS butter. Once butter is melted, add onions (and mushrooms if using). Allow to cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes lower the temperature to low. Add salt, additional tablespoon of butter and stir to combine. These will cook low and slow to perfectly caramelize for about 25-30 minutes. Stir every 5-8 minutes.
- The end result will be melt-in-your-mouth, buttery, golden brown onions.
Notes
If you are making this topping for more than 4 people, double the recipe! Be sure to use a large sauté pan. The cooking time will take a bit longer, about 45 minutes. But this is so worth the wait!
To add extra flavor, add 1 tsp Magic Mushroom powder, Chili powder, or Paprika when you add the salt!
