Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 3 equal portions and shape them into balls. Set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and caramelized, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

03

Step

Place the beef balls in the same skillet, flatten them with a spatula. Immediately top with the caramelized onions. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the bottom to brown nicely.

04

Step

Carefully flip the patties so the onions are now on the bottom, pressing gently to adhere. Top each patty with a slice of sharp Cheddar cheese. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired level of doneness.

05

Step

Serve immediately on toasted brioche buns.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of brown sugar to the onions as they caramelize.
Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, or a special sauce.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the beef to achieve a good sear.
