    From the Test Kitchen

    To make a deliciously rich topping for our patties (which feature smoky gouda cheese) we’re caramelizing onion with brown sugar, savory worcestershire sauce, and a touch of crushed red pepper flakes for flavorful contrast.

    Smoked Gouda  & Onion Burgers with Corn on the Cob
    Title
    • 10 oz Ground Beef
    • 2 Potato Buns
    • 2 ears Of Corn
    • 2 oz Smoked Gouda Cheese
    • 2 Tbsps Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce
    • 1 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
    • 1 Tbsp Creamy Mustard Sauce
    • ¼ tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
    • 1 Tbsp Southern Spice Blend (Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Ground Yellow Mustard, Smoked Paprika & Cayenne Pepper)
    • 1 Yellow Or Sweet Onion
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Remove the husks and silks from the corn, then wash and dry the cobs. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater; place in a medium bowl. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Halve the buns.

    Form the patties
    2 Form the patties

    Add the beef to the bowl of grated cheese; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into two 1/2-inch-thick patties. 

    Cook the patties & caramelize the onion
    3 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; season with salt and pepper. 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 browned and the patties are cooked through.* Leaving the onion in the pan, transfer the cooked patties to a plate. To the pan, add the sugar, worcestershire sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and as much of the red pepper flakes 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. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Transfer the caramelized onion to a bowl. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

    *An instant-read thermometer should register 160°F.
