We used a broiler for this and they cook in about 10-12 minutes. And, it seems to take us a lot longer to caramelize the onions than the recipe says, so be prepared for a longer cook time. |

1. Prepare grill or broiler. 2. To prepare onions, heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt, sauté 12 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar and vinegar; cook 30 seconds. Remove from pan. 3. To prepare burgers, heat pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and celery; sauté 3 minutes or until tender. 4. Combine the bell pepper mixture, crackers, 1/4 cup ketchup, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, beef, and egg in a large bowl. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2 inch thick patty. 5. Place patties on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook 5 minutes. Very carefully turn patties over (they are quite tender); brush with remaining ketchup. Cook 5 minutes or until done. 6. Place 1 patty on each of 6 bread slices. Top each patty with 1/4 cup onion mixture and 1 bread slice. |
