Steps

• Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
• Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
• Brush the patties with olive oil on both sides.
• Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
• During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.
• Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
• While the patties are resting, prepare the crispy fried onions.
• Peel and thinly slice the onion.
• In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture, coating them evenly.
• Fry the coated onion slices in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
• Remove the fried onions from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
• Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on the bottom half of each hamburger bun.
• Place a cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the tomato slice.
• Add a generous amount of crispy fried onions on top of the patty.
• Optional: Add ketchup, mustard, or pickles as desired.
• Cover the burgers with the top half of the hamburger buns.
• Serve the cheddar cheese burgers with crispy fried onions immediately.

Tips

• For a juicier burger, avoid pressing down on the patties while grilling.
• Customize your burger by adding your favorite toppings such as bacon or avocado.
