Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (non-alcoholic)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices provolone or Gruyère cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and dried thyme; cook for about 20–25 minutes until deeply caramelized.
  2. Push the onions aside and add the ground beef to the skillet. Brown the meat while breaking it apart until fully cooked, then mix it with the onions.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add Worcestershire sauce and beef broth; let simmer for 5–10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Toast the buns in another skillet or oven until golden brown.
  5. Spoon the beef-onion mixture onto each bun half, top with cheese, cover briefly to melt, and serve immediately.
