Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 – 2 lbs. ground beef
• salt and black pepper
• goat cheese, sliced
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• splash of honey

Directions:

1. Form the ground beef into 6-8 patties that are thinner in the center than at the edges. Salt and pepper burgers well. Set aside.
2. In a skillet melt butter over medium low heat and add onions once butter has melted. You will want to cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or so until they start to turn golden brown. You do not want them to cook too quickly or they will not get that nice sweet flavor.
3. In a small saucepan over medium low heat allow the balsamic and honey to reduce to less than 1/2 the volume. It will get thick and syrupy as it cooks down. When it coats the back of the spoon and runs like syrup it is done.
4. Preheat grill and cook burgers until desired doneness is reached. Removed burgers from the grill. Butter the pretzel rolls on the inside and grill cut sides down for a minute or two to brown.
5. Prepare hamburgers by placing on a roll with caramelized onions on top, then goat cheese, then a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Add the top of the roll and serve warm.
