# Ingredient List:

→ Onion Bun

01 - 1 large yellow onion
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
04 - 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning
05 - 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

→ Burger Patty

06 - 12 ounces 80/20 ground beef
07 - 1/2 tablespoon Creole seasoning
08 - 4 slices American cheese

→ Sauce

09 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
10 - 2 tablespoons relish
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
13 - 1 teaspoon sugar
14 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
15 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
16 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
17 - 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
18 - Cayenne pepper to taste

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Peel the yellow onion and slice into four 1/2-inch thick rounds. Drizzle each with olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of Creole seasoning, and brown sugar. Heat a skillet over medium-low and slowly caramelize the onion rounds for approximately 10 minutes per side, ensuring a deep golden color and tender texture throughout. Reserve for assembly.
02 - In a mixing bowl, season ground beef with Creole seasoning. Divide the meat into four equal portions and shape into balls, then flatten each into thin patties. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a well-browned crust develops and patties are cooked through.
03 - Place one slice of American cheese onto each patty during the final minute of cooking, allowing the cheese to melt fully before removing patties from the skillet.
04 - In a bowl, thoroughly combine mayonnaise, relish, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Creole seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth.
05 - On a plate, position one caramelized onion round as the base. Top with a cheesy beef patty, then add a spoonful of sauce. Cap with a second onion round to form the top layer. Repeat the process for remaining portions.
06 - Serve the Flying Dutchman Burger immediately while hot, accompanied by extra sauce on the side as desired.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For optimal caramelization, reduce heat if onions brown too rapidly, allowing them to soften thoroughly.
