Ingredients

• 2 cups red wine
• 3 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 1½ lb. ground beef
• Salt
• Pepper
• Crumbled goat cheese, for serving
• Hamburger Buns-- I recommend pretzel buns! I found mine at Kroger.

Directions

• Place wine and sugar in a sauce pan over medium high heat and bring to a gentle boil. Continue to boil (not crazily--turn down the heat if the boil is too wild) until the mixture is reduced to about ½ cup. This will take 25-35 minutes. Once reduced, remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are a golden caramel color and very sweet. This will take 25-30 minutes. If the onions start to burn you can turn down the heat a little bit and/or add a sprinkling of water to the pan. Once onions are caramelized, remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat charcoal or gas grill to medium high heat.
• Once the wine mixture has cooled enough to touch, crumble the ground beef into a large bowl. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Stir in ¼ cup red wine and gently mix with your hand. Gently form the meat into 5-6 patties. Place patties on the grill and grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked to your liking.
• To serve, place the burgers on split (and grilled, if you can manage it!) buns. Top with caramelized onions, goat cheese, and remaining wine sauce.
