Smoked White Cheddar Burger with Whiskey Glazed Onions

This post is part of a kick-butt burger grill giveaway hosted by GirlCarnivore but the burger epicness is all my own.

Are you a burger lover? I have been since I can remember, and making them are half the fun for me now.

This burger is so amazing, and I have to say that the onions are the superstar here, people.

Whiskey glazed, OH, and jalapeno honey glazed caramelized onions.

WHOA.

Y’all, these are fanfuckingtastic.

When I make my candied jalapenos, I always end up with a jar of jalapeno honey. After splashing a little whiskey on the onions, I drizzled about a tablespoon of the jalapeno honey, tossed with a tad more butter, and removed from the heat.

Next time, I’ll probably throw some flame on it to burn the alcohol off faster.

All of this combined with Cabot’s Vermont’s Extra Sharp Cheddar and fresh red ripe tomato and arugula made for one outstanding burger.
