Notes

For a richer flavor, consider deglazing the onion pan with a splash of red wine before adding the beef broth. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven rather than the microwave to keep the buns from getting soggy. Experiment with different cheeses like blue cheese or cheddar for unique flavor combinations.
