Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices American cheese slices
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Tomato slices
- 4 slices Pickles (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat.
3. Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.
4. Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until caramelized and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.
6. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
7. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
8. Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled patty with melted cheese. Top with caramelized onions, tomato slices, and pickles (if using). Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
