INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef 93% lean

1 slice cheddar cheese

0 whole whole wheat burger bun

0.5 medium yellow onion

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 leaf butter lettuce

1 slice tomato

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Thinly slice the yellow onion into uniform strips.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, then add the onions and cook until soft and golden brown, which takes about 15 minutes.

• 3

  In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then form into one thick patty.

• 4

  Increase the skillet heat to medium-high and sear the beef patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 5

  Place the cheddar cheese slice on top of the patty during the final minute of cooking and cover the pan with a lid to ensure it melts completely.

• 6

  Lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the skillet or a toaster until the edges are crisp.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by layering the butter lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy beef patty and the pile of caramelized onions.
