Description

This pan-fried cheeseburger recipe, seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, includes caramelized onions and sharp Cheddar cheese and is served on brioche buns.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (80 percent lean)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
3 rolls brioche, split and toasted

Directions

1 Place ground beef in a bowl; season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly; shape into 3 balls and set aside.
2 Melt butter in a large skillet. Add onion; cook until starts to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add 3 ground beef balls to the same skillet; flatten with a cast-iron press or a heavy spatula. Divide and place onions on top of patties; cook 3 to 4 minutes.
3 Carefully flip patties so onions are on the bottom; press. Top each patty with 1 slice Cheddar cheese; cook until cheese is melted and burgers reach desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve on brioche buns.
