Ingredients
2 lbs hamburger
2 yellow onions, sliced
Sliced cheese
Hamburger buns
Condiments of choice
Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Divide the ground beef into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Set aside until ready to grill.
2
Heat a large fry pan on the stove over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil. Sauté the sliced onions in the pan until caramelized, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
3
Heat a griddle or a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Place a portion of ground beef onto the hot griddle or skillet. Using a sturdy spatula, press down on the ball of meat with a firm, even pressure to smash it into a thin patty. Season the patty with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning.
5
Repeat the process with the remaining portions of ground beef, making sure to leave enough space between the patties for them to cook evenly.
6
Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to crisp and brown. Carefully flip each patty using the spatula.
7
Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty, if desired, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
8
Assemble your burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with caramelized onions and any other condiments of your choice.
9
Complete the burgers with the top half of the buns and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Smashed Hamburgers with Caramelized Onions, and serve with your favorite sides.
