Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the large onion into rings and chop the green onions. In a skillet, caramelize the sliced onion over medium heat until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on one patty and a slice of Swiss cheese on the other to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a lettuce leaf on the mayo, followed by the beef patty with cheddar cheese, a generous amount of caramelized onions, and the fresh green onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
