Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 Yellow onion
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 Burger buns
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Pickle juice
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 Tomato
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 1/2-inch thick. Season both sides of each patty with salt and black pepper.
Slice the yellow onion into thin rings. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dip each onion ring into the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumbs. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C) and fry the onion rings until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Cook the burger patties in the preheated skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast the burger buns in the skillet or toaster for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and pickle juice to make the burger sauce.
Slice the tomato into rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Assemble the burgers: spread the burger sauce on the bottom half of the bun, add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the cheeseburger patty, and a generous layer of crispy onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Crunchy Onion Cheeseburger!
