Step 1
Divide ground beef into 2 equal portions. Form each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Season both patties generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add one patty and cook 3 minutes without moving.
Step 4
Flip the patty. Place 2 provolone slices on top, then a handful of crispy onions over the cheese.
Step 5
Cook 2 more minutes until cheese melts and the bottom is deep brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Repeat steps 3–5 with the second patty.
Step 7
Butter cut sides of the buns and toast them in the skillet until golden, about 90 seconds.
Step 8
Place each patty (cheese and onions facing up) on the bottom of a toasted bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately.
