Caramelize the Onions
Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Smash Patties
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and add a little oil. Once hot, add the beef portions and smash them down with a spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms, then flip and place a slice of Velveeta and Gruyère cheese on each patty. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Grill the Buns

Assemble the Melt
