Goat Cheese Stuffed Burgers with Guacamole

Ingredients:

CARAMELIZED ONIONS:
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large vidalia, or sweet onions, sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

QUICK GUACAMOLE:

• 2 avocado, mashed
• 2 tablespoons chopped freshly cilantro
• 2 tablespoons diced sweet onion
• 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• the juice of 1 lime

POLYNESIAN MAYO:

• 1/2 cup mayo
• 3 tablespoons Tattoo Polynesian Sweet & Spicy hot sauce (or to taste)

GOAT CHEESE STUFFED BURGERS

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4-6 ounces cold goat cheese log, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 cups spring greens
• 4 Hawaiian roll buns, toasted

Instructions:

CARAMELIZED ONIONS:
1. Heat a large skillet over low heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Once melted, add in the onions and the salt, stirring well to coat. Cover and let cook for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring often, until golden and soft.
2. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for another 10 minutes.

QUICK GUACAMOLE:

3. Mix all ingredients together until combined. Taste and season additionally if needed.

POLYNESIAN MAYO:

4. Whisk ingredients together until combined.

GOAT CHEESE STUFFED BURGERS:

5. Place the ground beef in a large bowl and season with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix gently to coat and then divide the beef into four equal sections.
6. Break apart each section and form it into two patties – one for the top and one for the bottom. Place a round of goat cheese in the center of one patty and cover it with the other patty, pressing gently around the edges to seal the goat cheese in. Repeat with remaining beef.
7. At this point you can grill the burgers – I chose to use the skillet that the onions were cooked in. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter. Cook the burgers until your desired doneness. Add cheddar slice on top 1 minute before patties are done.
8. To assemble the burgers, spread a few tablespoons of guac on the bottom bun and place the burger on top. Cover with some caramelized onions, BBQ mayo and spring greens. Serve immediately!
