1
Form the Patties
In a bowl, take 1 pound of ground beef and season with 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix gently and form into 2 equal-sized patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
3
Melt the Cheese
After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

4
Prepare the Onion
Slice 1 medium onion into thin rings.
5
Sauté the Onion
In a separate pan, heat 1 tbs of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized.

6
Toast the Buns
If desired, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
7
Build the Burger
Place a cooked beef patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Top with sautéed onions.
8
Add Condiments
Spread 1 tbs of ketchup and 1 tbs of mustard on the top half of each bun. Place the top bun on each burger.
