French Onion Soup Burgers are a delicious fusion of two comforting dishes: the classic French onion soup and a juicy burger. The key is to combine the rich, savory flavors of French onion soup with the satisfying texture of a burger. Here’s a simple recipe you can try to make these mouthwatering burgers at home:

Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Burger Patties:
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder (if using).
Shape the mixture into four burger patties, making sure they’re slightly larger than the buns you’ll use.
3. Cook the Burgers:
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more done.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
4. Assemble the French Onion Soup Burgers:
Spoon a generous amount of the French onion soup onto the bottom half of each burger bun.
Place the cooked burger patty on top of the soup.
Top with a toasted slice of baguette or French bread and a handful of shredded Gruyère cheese.
If desired, place the burgers under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese further and make it bubbly.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the burgers with some of the remaining French onion soup as a dipping sauce or on the side for extra flavor!
Tips:
If you don’t want the bread on top, you can use a French baguette or crusty bread on the bottom, just like in a traditional French onion soup.
You can also add some caramelized onions on top of the burger patty for extra flavor.
Enjoy these French Onion Soup Burgers! They combine all the savory, cheesy goodness of French onion soup with the satisfying texture of a burger. Perfect for a cozy meal.
