Source of Recipe


From "Saveur: The New Classics"



List of Ingredients



• 4 Tbsp canola oil
  
• 1 pound ground beef, gently formed into 6 balls
  
• 2 medium yellow onions, very thinly sliced with a mandoline or a sharp knife and divided into 6 equal portions
  
• Kosher salt, to taste
  
• 6 slices American cheese
  
• 6 hamburger buns, toasted
  






Instructions



1. Working in two batches, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
   
   
2. Add three beef balls and, using the back of a spatula, press down on them until they're thin; cook for 1 minute. Top each patty with a portion of the onions; season with salt. Press onions into the meat and cook for 1 minute more.
   
   
3. Flip burgers and flatten with the spatula. Place a cheese slice on each patty and let melt while onions and meat brown. Serve on buns.
