Smoked Gouda cheeseburgers topped with potato chips and caramelized onion sour cream dip. A “crunchburger” that ranks as one of the messiest burgers I ever ate. And one of the best.
It’s all about texture, temperature and taste. Crunchy, salty chips. Tender, smoky-sweet caramelized onions. Cool sour cream. Warm, gooey Gouda cheese. Atop a hot, juicy burger. All of that in each incredible bite.
Growing up I always put some sort of chip on my sandwich. Salty potato chips on tuna fish. Nacho cheese Doritos on turkey and salami. Although technically not a chip. . . french fries on my burgers. . . something I still do.
Since I cleaned up my junk food ways the only time I eat chips is when I go to Panera and always the baked ones. Plus tortilla chips. Do those count as junk food? They don’t seem as evil. They aren’t overflowing with chemicals, preservative and msg. They have a short ingredient list, all of which I recognize. Have you looked at the mile-long ingredient list on Doritos lately? I have and it’s scary. Don’t. Do. It.
Eat this instead.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook 20-30 minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.
- Once onions are cool mix with sour cream and mayo. Season to taste. Refrigerate.
- Make 4 (1/4) pound patties out of the sirloin or 3 bigger ones. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet or on a grill to your desired doneness, melting the gouda on top of each during the last few minutes.
- Serve on buns with a big dollop of sour cream dip topped generously with potato chips and your choice of fixin's.
Makes my mouth water into the drooling stage. lol
Thanks Debra! Happy Wednesday!
Oh my goodness. Wow. We used to make “chip and dip sandwiches” when we were kids, but I wouldn’t have thought to put all that on a burger. Genius!

i LOVE this! I also put doritos on my cream cheese bagels (that was a teenage discovery that i am too attached to give up).
The burger is beautiful. and yes it looks messy but i can equate the messiness by how delicious it looks. well done!
WANT! (i’d say that would make a great PMS burger LOL when i crave salt like WHOA.)
I can only imagine how good this crunchy burger tastes! Sour cream dip sounds amazing too.
