This was a really tasty burger.  The combination of red pepper and smoky paprika mayonnaise and caramelized onion made it quite delectable.  A very yummy dinner was enjoyed in our home last night!

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Burgers with Caramelized Onions and Smokey Mayo via Iowa Girl Eats

Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 jumbo sweet onion
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
1-1/4 cup Rice Chex, crushed OR 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons panko bread crumbs
lots of salt and pepper
4 buns
Toppings: baby spinach, tomato slices
For the Smokey Mayo:
5 Tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat then add onions and a dash of salt. Cook, stirring every so often until onions reach a caramel brown color, 25-30 minutes. Set aside.
2. Combine ingredients for the Smokey Mayo in a bowl then stir to combine and set aside in the fridge.
3. Add ground beef, hummus, crushed chex or panko bread crumbs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl then combine with your hands and form mixture into 4 patties. Grill over medium-high heat on one side until a crust forms, 3-4 minutes, then flip and grill for 3-4 minutes on the other side. Do not undercook or burgers can be crumbly. Place burgers onto buns then add caramelized onions, Smokey Mayo, and additional toppings.
