Instructions

1 Preheat grill, griddle, or cast iron pan on high heat.
2 In a large bowl add all ingredients and with hands mix just until all spices
thoroughly combined.
3 Divide the meat mixture into six even sections and form into patties. Don't
forget to leave a thumbprint or indentation in the middle to prevent shrinking
when cooking.
4 Cook burgers until desired doneness, about 3 minutes on each side for medium
doneness. Add another minute to each side for more doneness. Use thermometer for
best accuracy.
5 Preheat pan on medium heat. Add oil.
6 Add onions to hot pan and cook until softened.
7 Add balsamic vinegar and salt. Continue to cook, stirring every few minutes to
ensure even cooking and no sticking. Onions will start to shrink and caramelize
in about 15-20 minutes. Cook until all liquid has cooked off or to liking. To
fully caramelize onions you will need to let them cook for at least 30 minutes.
8 Assemble burgers by spreading mayo or favorite spread onto buns.

Add lettuce, burger patty, goat cheese, bacon, and onions.
9 Feel free to add any additional toppings or enjoy as is!
