Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)
2 large onions, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns, toasted
Optional toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, ketchup
Instructions:
Onion Preparation: Begin by thinly slicing the onions. The thinner they are, the crispier they’ll become.
Meat Patties: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into loose, thin patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Onion Embedding: Press a good handful of the sliced onions into one side of each patty, ensuring they adhere well.
Cooking: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties onion-side-down into the skillet. This will help the onions to caramelize and infuse the beef with their flavor. Cook for about 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the beef is cooked to your liking.
Serving: Place each patty on a toasted bun and garnish with your favorite toppings.
