Ingredients

• 2 large yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moon shapes.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium-low heat until melted.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions, sugar, and salt to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

While the onions are cooking, prepare the bacon. In a separate skillet, cook the slices of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, chop the bacon into small crumbles.

Step 5

To make the cheese sauce, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and whole milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in ground black pepper and paprika for added flavor.

Step 6

To assemble the Retro Burger Topping, layer a generous spoonful of caramelized onions on a cooked burger patty, sprinkle with crispy bacon crumbles, and drizzle the warm cheese sauce over the top.

Step 7

Serve the Retro Burger Topping immediately on your favorite burger buns for a classic and indulgent retro experience.
