Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the medium onion into thin rings. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and form them into patties. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of each type of cheese (Cheddar, Swiss, American, and Pepper Jack) on each patty. Cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly. On the bottom bun, place a leaf of lettuce, then the first cheese-covered patty, followed by half of the grilled onions. Add the second cheese-covered patty on top, the remaining grilled onions, and finally drizzle with 1000 Island dressing. Top with the second bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the burger in half if desired and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
