Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 pound ground beef (80/20 leanness)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Salt and pepper
2 slices Cheddar, cut into 8 squares
8 dinner-size potato rolls
Directions
- Heat canola oil in a saute pan and cook onions over medium heat until they caramelize.
- Heat grill. Form ground beef into 8 (2-inch) patties. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and grill burgers until medium rare, remove to a platter and top with cheddar cheese slices to allow melting.
- Use a 2-inch circle cutter (or biscuit cutter) to cut the potato rolls into circles. Place burgers in rolls and top burgers with caramelized onion.
