Caramelize the Onions
Slice the onions thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.

Smash the Patty
Using a spatula, smash the patty down to create a crispy crust. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until a nice sear forms. Add the slice of American cheese on top and cover the skillet for about 1 minute to melt the cheese.
