Taste of Home Tuesday: Best Beefy Burgers with Roasted Onion and Peppercorn Mayo

Ingredients
1 small red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon whole peppercorns, crushed
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
4 kaiser rolls, split and toasted
Optional ingredients: tomato slices and lettuce leaves

Directions
Place onion on a greased baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Bake at 400° for 8-12 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, crushed peppercorns and onion mixture; set aside.

Sprinkle beef with remaining salt; gently mix. Shape into four patties. In a large skillet, cook patties over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Serve on rolls with mayonnaise mixture and, if desired, tomato and lettuce. Yield: 4 servings.

These hamburgers were pretty good.  Justin said he wasn't sure about the onion mixture at first, but after we ate them said he enjoyed it.  We did not make our own patties since we had some from Basinger's Backyard Beef;) and we grilled them on the grill instead of in the skillet.  We used onion buns instead of the kaiser roll because there's nothing better then a fresh onion bun.  We will be making these burgers again!
