Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thinly slice the 1 large onion. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Divide the 1 lb ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Season both sides with the pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your liking.

  4. Step 4

    Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, letting it melt. Toast the 4 burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  5. Step 5

    Spread the 0.25 cup barbecue sauce on the bottom buns. Top with the patties, the sautéed onions, and the top buns. Serve hot.
