Burger Ingredients

Caramelized Onions

House Fries

Method

Caramelized Onions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the onions thinly to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

House Fries

  1. 3

    Prepare the Fries

    Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut them into fries or wedges.

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil and salt. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Burger Assembly

  1. 5

    Cook the Burger Patties

    Form the ground beef into 4 even patties, season with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese

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

  3. 7

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  4. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread Thousand Island dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Add the burger patty with melted cheese, followed by caramelized onions, lettuce, sliced tomato, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
