Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the onions. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low.
- Season the onions with salt and pepper and add the bay leaf. Continue to cook until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and water.
- Once the liquid has reduced, add the sugar. Cook until the onions are glossy and deep in color, about 5 more minutes.
- Remove the onions from the heat and transfer to dish to cool.
- Season the ground beef with salt and pepper and add the Worcestershire sauce. Incorporate the mixture and form 4 patties.
- Clean the skillet. Add olive oil and place it over medium heat.
- Cook the burger patties on each side until tension can be felt in the center, 2-3 minutes. Immediately top each burger with a slice of cheese. Cover the skillet and remove it from the heat. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2 minutes.
- If desired, remove the bay leaf and chop the red onion jam in a food processor.
- Spread one side of each toasted bun with garlic aioli and the other with red onion jam. Assemble each cheddar burger with two strips of bacon.
