Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by thinly slicing the yellow onions. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions along with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally for 25-30 minutes, allowing the onions to caramelize until they are deep golden brown and incredibly fragrant.
- While the onions are caramelizing, combine 1½ pounds of ground beef with 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined.
- Once the onions have cooled slightly, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add ½ cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Stir until well blended, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate.
- Rinse your mixed greens or romaine lettuce, and dry them thoroughly. Next, dice the tomatoes and cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Set all the vegetables aside.
- In the same skillet used for the onions, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium-high. Add the seasoned ground beef and cook for about 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- To create your Burger Bowls, start with a base of the crisp lettuce. Layer the cooked ground beef on top, followed by your prepared vegetables. Finish with a dollop of aioli, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and chopped chives.

Notes
Patience is essential when caramelizing onions; cook them slowly on low heat for best results. Use fresh, crisp vegetables for assembly.
