Awesome Burger
Kansas City Chiefs fans call this the "awesome" burger because, well, it pretty much is. An onion cream spread and fried onions put this cheeseburger in a league of its own.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/8 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup sliced onion
- 2 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 teaspoon cajun seasoning
- four 8-ounce beef patties
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoon a1 steak sauce
- 12 slices cooked bacon
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 brioche buns
- butter
- canola oil, for frying
- 1 cup milk
Directions
- In a hot skillet, caramelize the onions with about 4 tablespoons of butter. Next add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes longer. Deglaze the pan with the Worcestershire sauce, then stir in the green onion and season with salt and pepper. Cool.
- Once the onion mixture is cooled, whip it into the cream cheese and sour cream until fully blended.
- For the fried onions, mix the flour, spices, and seasoning together. Set aside. Heat about 1 inch of canola oil in a medium-sized skillet to 375 degrees. Soak the thinly sliced onions in milk, and then toss in the flour mixture until well coated. Fry until golden brown and crispy.
- Grill the burger patties until cooked through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Spread approximately ¼ cup of the onion cream cheese mixture onto the bottom of each toasted brioche bun. Set a burger on top of each bun and top with 2 slices of cheddar cheese, 3 slices of bacon, 1 tablespoon of A1 sauce, and a small handful of the fried onions. Top with lettuce & tomato and serve.
