Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, lettuce, and tomato. Slice the pickles and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté the chopped onions until they are caramelized, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Shape the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.

  4. 4

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and close the grill to melt the cheese.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, layer lettuce, a slice of tomato, the grilled patty with melted cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and a generous drizzle of kosmic sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the diner burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
