Grilled Burgers with Roquefort Mayonnaise and Barbecued Red Onions

4.3

(48)

Beef and Roquefort have a long-standing culinary partnership, but the thick and sweetly smoky slices of barbecued red onions are what really make these burgers great. Keep the meal all-American with chilled beer, homemade lemonade and iced tea. A fresh peach pie with vanilla ice cream is a perfect dessert.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8

Ingredients

8 1/2-inch-thick slices red onions
1 1/3 cups bottled hickory-flavored barbecue sauce
3 pounds ground round beef, formed into eight 4- to 5-inch-diameter patties
8 4- to 5-inch-diameter hamburger buns, split

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush onions generously with barbecue sauce. Grill until onions are tender, brown and glazed, basting with barbecue sauce and turning occasionally, about 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Sprinkle patties with salt and pepper. Grill patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Grill hamburger buns, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Place patties on bottom halves of buns. Top each with 1 onion slice, Roquefort Mayonnaise, then bun tops.
