Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 10 small rolls, halved lengthwise
• 10 slices chipotle gouda or pepper jack cheese

Directions

• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions; cook until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue cooking, stirring, until uniformly brown, 5 to 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Mix the pork, garlic and parsley in a bowl. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and form into 10 small patties, being careful not to pack them too tightly.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat; grill the patties until medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side. Place a cheese slice on the bottom half of each roll; top with a burger, some caramelized onions and the roll top.
