Helpful tips

• Keep an eye on the onions while caramelizing; lower the heat if they begin to burn.

Optional variations

• You can switch out beef patties for chicken patties or plant-based options for a different flavor profile.
• Add some fresh greens, like spinach or arugula, for a fresh touch.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use different types of bread?
