    From the Test Kitchen

    To top beef patties (which are packed with shreds of melty gouda cheese), we’re making tender caramelized onion, which gets its rich flavor from additions of savory worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and hot sauce.

    Smoked Gouda Cheeseburgers with Caramelized Onion & Roasted Delicata Squash
    Title
    • 10 oz Ground Beef
    • 2 Burger Buns
    • 2 oz Smoked Gouda Cheese
    • 1 Tbsp Hot Sauce
    • 2 Tbsps Mayonnaise
    • 2 Tbsps Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce
    • 1 Delicata Squash
    • 1 Yellow Onion
    • 1 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
    Prepare & roast the squash
    1 Prepare & roast the squash

    Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Wash and dry the squash; cut off and discard the ends. Halve lengthwise; using a spoon, scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Place on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 20 to 22 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

    Meanwhile, grate the gouda on the large side of a box grater. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and half the worcestershire sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    Form the patties

    In a bowl, combine the beef and grated gouda. Season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into two 1/2-inch-thick patties.

    4 Cook the patties & caramelize the onion

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties to one side of the pan. Add the sliced onion to the other side of the pan. Cook, occasionally stirring the onion, 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is slightly softened and the patties are browned. Flip the patties (carefully, as the oil may splatter). Continue to cook, occasionally stirring the onion, 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is softened and the patties are cooked through.* Leaving the onion in the pan, transfer the cooked patties to a plate. To the pan, carefully add the sugar, hot sauce, and remaining worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the onion is coated. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

    *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for beef.

Transfer to a work surface. Assemble the burgers using the toasted buns, cooked patties, and caramelized onion. Serve the burgers with the roasted squash and sauce on the side. Enjoy!
