Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground chuck (80/20 blend)
2 medium yellow onions
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 brioche or whole wheat burger buns
4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
1 cup lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
1 medium tomato, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Slice the onions into thin rings.
In a skillet over medium-low heat, add a splash of olive oil and the sliced onions. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently form patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Grill the patties over medium heat for about 4 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached.
In the last minute of cooking, place cheese slices on top of each patty to melt.
Assemble the burgers by placing lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the patty with caramelized onions, and then topping it with the other half of the bun.
