Once they are mostly golden brown and very soft, add in the vegan beef or veggie broth and balsamic vinegar. Stir to incorporate. Reduce the broth down completely. Your onions should be a deep dark brown and taste amazing! Keep warm on low.

- Cook the burger patties over medium high heat about 3 minutes per side. When you flip them, add a slice of the Dairy-Free Smoked Gouda Cheese. Then add in a few drops of water to the pan and cover to steam and melt the cheese.
- Once melted, remove from heat and assemble burger as follows: bottom bun, cheeseburger, onions, dijonnaise, top bun. ENJOY!
