1 tablespoon butter
4 cups yellow onions -- sliced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
4 onion hamburger buns
Melt butter in 12" skillet until sizzling; add onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and deep golden brown (35 to 40 minutes). Stir in thyme, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized (5 minutes).
Meanwhile, prepare grill; heat until coals are ash white.
Combine ground beef, mustard and salt in a large bowl; mix lightly. Shape into 4 (3/4-inch thick) patties. Coat both sides of patties with pepper. Place patties on grill.
Grill, turning once, until desired doneness (10 to 12 minutes). Meanwhile, grill hamburger buns until toasted (3 to 5 minutes). Fill buns with hamburgers; top each with 1/4 cup onions.
