Instructions

For the Burgers:

  1. Form the ground beef into about ¾ inch size burgers with a slight thumb indentation in the center.
  2. Heat a large cast iron frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil and place the burgers in the heated pan.
  3. Cook the burgers about 3 minutes on one side to form a nice char and flip over and top with cheese slices, to cook about another 3 – 4 minutes of the other side and a nice char is formed.
  4. This cooking time will achieve a medium rare burger. Cook longer if you desire a more well done burger.

For the Marinated Tomatoes:

  1. Slice the tomatoes and place in a bowl. Add the chopped garlic, fresh basil leaves, seasonings and olive oil. Gently toss and place in the refrigerator until ready to use

For the Sautéed Onions:

  1. Place the sliced onions in a large bowl. Add the seasonings, chopped parsley and olive oil and toss.
  2. Heat a large cast iron frying pan and place the seasoned onions in the pan. Sprinkle with approximately half the bread crumbs and sauté until a slight crisp is achieved and set aside. Continue this process until all of the onions are sautéed.

Assembly:

  1. Place the toasted bun on a plate and place one to two slices of the marinated tomato followed by the burger and finally the sautéed onions.
  2. Serve with your favorite condiments such as; ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, pickles etc.
