There isn’t enough to be said about a truly great cheeseburger. Sometimes it’s simple, and sometimes it’s that little extra kick. In the case of this recipe, expect the latter from the traditional elements of French Onion Soup. Hungry?

Expect a lot of burgers on Girl Carnivore. A lot. As I am on the quest for what makes a perfect patty. Is it a great skillet, an aged griddle, the aroma a charcoal heated grill gives, or something else. We’re going to be grinding our own beef – because it really makes a difference – and seasoning our own meat and making you salivate like a caveman staring down a sleeping saber-toothed cat.
