5. To build the dish. Arrange cooked burgers on a clean baking tray, side-by-side. Add a portion (approx. 25 ml/24 gm) of the carmelized onion mix on top of the salisbury steak and spoon 15 mL (1 Tablespoon) of Beef Au Jus over the carmelized onions for moisture. Add one toasted crouton on top and gently press the stack together. Top with 25gm of mozzarella cheese and bake in a 325 F pre-heated until the cheese is golden brown.
