Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    Season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into an 8 oz patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Grill or pan-fry the patty over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Grill the Onions

    In a separate pan, sauté sliced onions over medium heat until they are caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the inside of the sourdough bun. Place the patty with melted cheese on the bun, top with grilled onions, homemade chili, lettuce, and tomato slices.

  6. 6

    Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately and enjoy!
