Instructions
- Preheat grill or skillet: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the onion rings and patties.
- Prepare onion rings: Carefully separate the onion slices into rings and select the largest rings to use for wrapping the burger patties.
- Cook onion rings: Brush the selected onion rings lightly with olive oil or butter, then grill or pan-fry them for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are softened and slightly charred.
- Form beef patties: Shape the ground beef into four equal-sized patties and season each with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook beef patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Melt cheese: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar or American cheese on each patty to melt perfectly over the meat.
