1 Yellow Onions
1 tablespoons Flour
Butter

1 Red Onion
4 tablespoons Sour Cream
2 tablespoons Sweet Mustard
2 tablespoons Spicy Mustard
2 tablespoons shredded Gouda Cheese (or other melting cheese of your choice)
4 slices Leberkäse
4 Sandwich Buns (like Kaiser Rolls or Pretzel Rolls)
Salt & Pepper
Some Lettuce Leaves

The first 3 ingredients above will be used to create some fried onions. Peel the yellow onion, slice it into half, then cut the halves into thin slices. Toss the onion slices in the flour so that they are nicely coated.

Heat a good amount of butter in a frying pan. Add the onions to the pan. Make sure there is enough butter - the onions need to be swimming, otherwise they will burn. When the onions have become crispy and golden brown, remove them from the pan onto some paper towels. The paper towels will absorb some of the excess butter. Allow the fried onions to cool completely.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare a baking sheet by either lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with butter.

Peel and cut the red onion into thin slices. Set aside.

Combine the sour cream, both mustards, cheese, and 4 tablespoons of the fried onions. Season this mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Place the 4 slices of Leberkäse onto the prepared baking sheet. Top the Leberkäse slices with red onion slices, then spread the sour cream mixture evening over each of the Leberkäse slices. Bake for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, slice the rolls inth halves. Add the roll halves to the oven during the last 4 minutes of baking time to warm them up nicely.

Assemble the burgers by adding some lettuce slices to each roll, then add a baked Leberkäse slice to each roll. Serve immediately. Don't forget the beer!
