Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion sliced in rings
8 ounces mushrooms sliced
2 pounds ground beef preferably 93% lean
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup arugula
1 cup blue cheese crumble
½ cup garlic aioli
6 hamburger buns potato rolls if possible

Instructions

Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
In a large skillet over medium heat, place the oil, onions, and mushrooms. Stir occasionally to prevent them from browning too much. Once the onions have been caramelized*, remove them from the heat.
Mix the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl using your hands. Divide the hamburger mixture evenly into six balls, press each into a patty. Use your thumb to make an indent in the middle of the patties to allow the middle to cook more evenly.
Place the burgers on the pre-heated grill and cover. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, then remove the burgers from the grill. Place the cooked burgers in a container with a lid for 2 minutes to allow the meat to rest and absorb its juices.
To assemble the burgers, place the arugula on the bottom of the buns, then the burgers, and top with the onion mixture and 2½ ounces of blue cheese. Spread a spoonful of garlic aioli onto the top of each bun and place it on the burger.

Notes

*You will know that the onions are caramelized because they will be soft and slightly browned. If you're in a hurry, you could use the onions when they are soft and translucent, but they will be much tastier and sweeter if you cook them past that stage, until they have browned a bit.
