Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds Ground Beef (80% Lean or Leaner)

  • 2 cups thinly sliced sweet onion
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 4 potato sandwich buns, split, toasted

Cooking:

  1. Heat griddle flat top or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot. Meanwhile, divide beef evenly into eight portions. Lightly shape into loose balls. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.

  2. Evenly place half of balls on griddle; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until bottoms are browned and crispy. Place 1/4 cup onion on top of each ball. 

    Cook's Tip: Watch onions carefully to prevent burning!

  3. Turn balls onto onions, smashing into thin patties with a spatula or burger press. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F. Remove from griddle; keep warm. Repeat with remaining beef.
