Burger Patty

Caramelized Onions

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ground Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the chopped green chilies, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

Caramelize the Onions

  1. 3

    Slice the Onion

    Thinly slice the yellow onion.

  2. 4

    Cook the Onion

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

Cook the Burgers

  1. 5

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, slice the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a handful of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a generous serving of caramelized onions, and slices of fresh tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
