Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Onions
Slice the onions into thin rings. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally and set aside.
Form the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, making a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Cook the Patties
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the hot surface and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.
Assemble the Burgers
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Place each cooked patty on a bun and top generously with the caramelized onions. Optionally, add any additional toppings of your choice. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve
Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
