Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 large Yellow onion
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 4 Hamburger buns
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until evenly mixed. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the burger patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 4

During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each burger patty and allow it to melt.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns in a separate dry skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a simple burger sauce.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread a layer of the burger sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a cheese-topped burger patty on top, followed by a generous portion of caramelized onions. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad. Enjoy!
