Caramelize the Onions
Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cook the Burger Patties
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two equal patties. Heat a flat top grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them, placing a slice of white cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
