"Ah, there is nothing better than the taste of natural jelly from a jellyfish." - Spongebob

Think jelly and burgers don't mix? I took Spongebob's invention as a challenge, and found they go together very well. The secret is to use the jelly to caramelize onion slices. You end up with a super flavorful patty topping! Yum!

This is such an easy trick to spice up homemade burgers. I'm going to make them this way from now on!

  5. Divide mixture into rounds and flatten into 6 patties.
  6. Grill burgers on each side until cooked through. Transfer to prepared plate.
  7. Layer each burger as follows:
    • Bottom bun

    • Patty
    • Cheese slice
    • Pickles
    • Lettuce

  8. Serve, and enjoy the taste of natural jelly.
