Description
Ground beef patties topped with caramelized onions and melted cheese, served on toasted buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb ground beef
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes until deeply caramelized. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into four equal patties.
- Wipe out the skillet or use a grill pan. Cook the patties over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover briefly until the cheese melts.
- While the burgers cook, lightly toast the inside of the hamburger buns.
- Assemble the burgers: place a cheese-topped patty on the bottom bun, top with a generous portion of caramelized onions, and place the top bun on.
Notes
- For richer onion flavor, add 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce while caramelizing the onions.
- Use good quality beef for the best results.
