2 tsp (10 mL/0.2 oz) granulated sugar

1/2 cup (125 mL/1 oz) finely chopped chives

Assembly:

12 portions Grille & Galley™ 4 Oz. Prime Rib Beef Burger

24 slices (1 lb 8 oz) smoked Cheddar cheese

12 thick-cut slices (1 lb 8 oz) peameal bacon

12 crusty hamburger rolls, split

12 red leaf lettuce leaves (2.4 oz)

Instructions:

1. Heat oil and butter in large skillet set over medium heat; cook onions for 12 to 15 minutes or until softened. Add thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until very soft and golden brown.

2. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in balsamic vinegar and maple syrup; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until almost completely evaporated. Let cool completely. Onions can be made up to 5 days in advance.

3. Stir together mayonnaise, grainy mustard, vinegar and sugar until well combined; fold in chives. Sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance.

4. Assembly (1 portion): Grill burger over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, or until well charred and just cooked through. Top with 2 slices of cheese; cook for 1 minute before removing from grill.  

5. Grill peameal bacon for 5 minutes, turning once, or until cooked through. Grill hamburger roll for about 1 minute or until lightly toasted. Spread 3 tbsp (45 mL) mayonnaise sauce over bottom half of toasted roll. Top with lettuce, slice of peameal bacon and burger. Spoon 1/4 cup (60 mL) onions over burger; cap with top half of roll.

Tips:

• Serve with coated waffle-cut fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings or potato wedges.
• Drizzle with sriracha hot sauce for a spicy finish.
• Substitute double-smoked, thick-cut side bacon for peameal bacon if desired.
