Ingredients

For the Burger Patties

• 1½ lbs ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• 4 slices white cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp neutral oil or butter (for cooking)

For the Toppings

• 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 4 brioche or potato buns, toasted
• Optional: aioli, chipotle mayo, or Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add sliced onions and cook slowly for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and jammy. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end if desired for extra depth.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 15–20 minutes until blistered and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, gently mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 thick patties, slightly larger than your buns. Press a thumbprint into the center of each to prevent puffing.
4. Heat a skillet or grill to medium-high. Add oil or butter and sear the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. In the last 1–2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of white cheddar on each patty and cover to melt.
5. Toast the buns cut-side down in a dry skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
6. Spread your favorite sauce on the bun base. Layer with the cheesy patty, caramelized onions, roasted tomatoes, sliced avocado, and top with the other bun half. Serve hot.

Notes

Make it spicy: Add jalapeños or a chipotle mayo spread.

Use turkey or veggie patties for a lighter option.

Add greens: Toss in arugula or spinach for freshness.

Don’t skip toasting the bun — it makes a big flavor and texture difference!
