How to Make Easy Dutchman Burger
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well and refrigerate while you prepare the rest.
- Slice the yellow onions into thick rings. In a skillet, add butter and olive oil over medium heat, cook the onion rings until golden and tender, about 12-14 minutes.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and roll each portion gently into balls.
- Heat your skillet on medium-high. Smash the meatballs into patties using a spatula, season with salt and pepper, and cook each patty for 2-3 minutes per side. Add cheese on top during the last minute.
- On a plate, layer one caramelized onion ring, spread some of the sauce, add one patty, more sauce, top with another patty, and finish with another onion ring.
- Enjoy your Easy Dutchman Burger while it's hot!
