Parmesan Stuffed Burger with Balsamic Onions

My, oh my, oh my! This is definitely "Cheese  Burger in Paradise!" I love burgers and coming up with new recipes for them. Puppy Daddy definitely gave this one his "expert taste tester seal of approval". The Parmesan cheese melted inside gives it a salty, nutty flavor. The balsamic onions add a sweet, tangy flavor. Together with the beef they are honestly really delicious! I usually add lots of toppings to my burgers but this one doesn't need anything extra.

To make a stuffed burger, form two thin patties for each burger. Make the cheese filling by mixing together softened cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. Portion out the filling and roll each portion into a ball. Then flatten, place on one patty and top with the other. Then seal the sides. Season both sides of the burger with plenty of salt and pepper. Cook as you normally would.

The balsamic onions are super easy. Just cut the onions into thin slices. Cook over medium low heat with butter for about 15 minutes. Then add balsamic vinegar and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve the burgers on your favorite bun topped with plenty of onions. YUM!
