Description
Juicy smash burgers topped with sweet and savory caramelized onions, perfect for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- Cheese slices (optional)
- Your favorite burger toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
- Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and form loose balls. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the beef balls on the hot griddle and smash them down with a spatula to form patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.
- Flip the burgers and top each with a slice of cheese (if using) and a generous spoonful of the caramelized onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on a separate skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the patties on the buns and adding any additional toppings you desire.
Notes
- For best results, use a high-fat content ground beef to ensure juicy burgers.
- Feel free to customize your toppings based on your preferences.
