Caramelized Onions & Mushrooms

Excuse the poor picture - I forgot to take one before we started eating these!  The weather here has been gorgeous lately.  Mr. Kitchin cleaned up our patio and grill over the weekend, so we decided to cook up some burgers.

Now, I love a (non-beef) burger with all the trimmings as much as the next person.  However, as you know, I'm trying to watch my waistline these days so instead of mayo and cheese I opted for some DELICIOUS caramelized onions and mushrooms.

These only take about 10 - 15 minutes to cook up and make enough to top six burgers.  It's so good you can even eat it by itself as a salad of sorts.

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
• 1 Medium Yellow Onion
• 2 Cups Sliced Mushrooms
• 2 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar

Directions:

• Heat oil in skillet over medium heat.
• Add onions and cook 3 - 5 minutes or until onions start to yellow.
• Add mushrooms and cook 5 - 7 minutes or until onions and mushrooms start to brown.
• Add vinegar and mix well to combine.
• Add sugar and mix well to combine.
• Continue to heat for another 5 - 8 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
