From the Test Kitchen

To make a deliciously rich topping for beef patties (which feature smoky gouda cheese mixed right inside) we’re caramelizing onion with worcestershire sauce and a touch of hot sauce for flavorful contrast. It’s rounded out with a side of corn on the cob coated in a bold sauce of creamy mustard (simply mustard and mayo) mixed with our Southern spice blend.

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Add the sugar, worcestershire sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and as much of the hot sauce as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

Add the patties and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side (flipping carefully, as the oil may splatter), or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.
