Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons salted butter softened and divided
- 1 medium sweet onion chopped
- 1 pound 90/10 Lean Ground Beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns toasted
- 4 lices American cheese
Instructions
- Mix 2 Tablespoons of the butter into the ground beef.
- Divide the beef into 4 even patties. Season with the salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until tender (approximately 5-7 minutes). Reduce the heat on the skillet to look and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned.
- Transfer the onions to a separate plate.
- Place the patties into the skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes without moving the patties.
- Flip the patties and cook on the other side for 4-6 more minutes until the patties are cooked through.
- Turn off the heat, top each patty immediately with 1 tablespoon of butter each, ¼ of the sautéd onions and a slice of the cheese. The heat from the pattes should melt the butter and the cheese.
- Remove from the skillet and place on the toasted buns.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

Notes
- These burgers are best served immediately while warm; however, any leftovers will last for up to 5 days as long as they are refrigerated in an airtight container. I prefer to store the onion, patties and buns separately and then assemble them when ready to serve.
