Ingredients

1 red onion, sliced into 1/3-inch rounds
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 ripe avocados, pitted and diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds ground chuck (80/20 meat to fat)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 thin slices provolone piccante
2 cups arugula
6 potato hamburger buns, toasted
2 tomatoes, sliced thin, optional

Steps:

For the onions: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Drizzle the onion slices with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt. Place in the hot grill pan and cook, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a bowl and toss with the balsamic and sugar. Cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap and let steam at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
For the avocado: Mash together the avocado, lemon juice, salt and pepper flakes in a medium bowl.
For the burgers: Heat the grill pan over medium-high heat. Form the beef into 6 even patties (about 1/3 pound each). Sprinkle the patties evenly on both sides with salt and place in the grill pan. Grill until nicely browned, about 2 minutes on the first side. Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on top of each burger and cover with a bowl or lid to allow the cheese to melt. Cook to desired doneness, about 1 minute longer for medium.
Place a small amount of arugula on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the patties, tomatoes, if using, and the grilled balsamic onions. Spread some of the avocado on the top half of the buns and close the burgers.

I thought the burgers were a little bland. I would add more seasoning next time.

These burgers were a little dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

I'm not a big fan of burgers, but these were actually really good. The bacon and cheese made all the difference.

I made these burgers for my family and they were a huge hit! My kids loved the bacon and cheese, and my husband said they were the best burgers he's ever had.
