Caramelized Beer Onions

With grilling season in full swing, I am always looking for something different to add to my hot dogs or hamburgers and these onions hit the spot! These do take some time and can’t be rushed but would also be great with so many things.  Not just burgers and dogs… how about on top of nacho’s or even in your mac and cheese! If you are looking for a little something extra this is it! One onion is enough for two or three burgers!

INGREDIENTS
1 large sweet onion, sliced thin
Pinch of salt
1/2 Tablespoon of butter
8 ounces of beer (I used a wheat ale.  Stout would be a good choice too)
1 Tablespoon brown sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a saucepan over medium heat add the butter, salt and onion. Stir until the onion starts to get soft. Add the beer and let simmer until the onions are browned and almost all of the moisture is gone. Remove from heat and add to your burgers or dogs or whatever you are adding them to.  This can be stored in the fridge and re-heated when needed.

Enjoy!
