Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Peel and slice the onion into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Drizzle with olive oil and Worcestershire sauce, then sprinkle with seasoning and brown sugar. Sauté over medium-low heat for 10 minutes on each side until browned and tender.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with Creole seasoning, divide into four portions, roll into balls, and flatten. Heat a skillet on medium-high and sear the patties for 2-3 minutes per side, adding cheese in the last minute to melt it.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine all ingredients for the sauce and whisk until smooth. This tangy sauce will enhance each bite.
  4. Assemble the burger by placing one caramelized onion round as the base, followed by a patty, sauce, and another onion round on top.
