Ingredients
  

Burger Components
  • 1 lb ground beef Use high-quality beef for juicy burgers.
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced Caramelize for added sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons butter For caramelizing onions.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust seasoning as desired.
  • Cheese (such as Gruyère or Swiss) for topping Feel free to experiment with other cheeses.
  • Buns for serving Choose your favorite burger buns.

Method
 

Caramelize Onions
  1. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they become caramelized (about 15-20 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare Burgers
  1. Form the ground beef into burger patties and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill or pan-fry the patties to your desired doneness.
  3. During the last few minutes of cooking, place cheese on top of the burgers and cover to melt.
Serve
  1. Serve the burgers on buns, topped with the caramelized onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the onions cook a bit longer for deeper caramelization. You can turn this recipe into a vegetarian option by using a plant-based burger while keeping the onions and cheese.
