Somebody please tell me you're joking... I just made these caramelized onions and when I went outside to cook the patties, desert skies turned gray and it started raining- summer showers, am I right? These really are the rainy day caramelized onions

We only made the Caramelized onions from this recipe but It was really lacking in something and couldnt figure it out. I would only give it two stars but gave it 3 because it may have tasted a whole lot better if I made It with the burger, Who knows.

Ok I believe this recipe is cursed or something. Because funny thing is, like Bergy and KC_Cooker when we got ready to grill all looked well in the sky, then we got out there and it started to rain a little but not hard, so we were able to grill them! They tasted out of this world excellent! They will go into my favorite folder. I do think you should change the name of the recipe to, Grill them before it rains burgers. Thanks so much for posting a wonderful recipe Lvs2Cook....

If I could give this recipe more than 5 stars, I would! They were fantastic!!! They must have some kind of rain dance effect though, because right when my husband was getting ready to put them on the grill, our clear skies turned gray and we had a torrential downpour :) Just like Bergy, I had to bring them in and pan fry them. The onions were so sweet and delicious ont he burger and all the flavors combined were perfect. I can't wait to try this again on the grill! Delicious!
