Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice the onion thinly and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into two equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In a skillet or grill over medium-high heat, cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, caramelized onions, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately.
