Ingredients:
- 2 large white or yellow onions, peeled and halved
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 2 slices cheddar or your favorite cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter or tallow, for cooking
Directions:
- Prepare the Onion Wraps: Carefully separate the onion into large outer layers, keeping each layer intact. These will act as the “buns.”
- Shape the Patties: Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, divide into two portions, and shape into patties slightly smaller than the onion layers.
- Wrap and Secure: Encase each burger patty with two onion layers, pressing them firmly into place.
- Cook the Burgers: Heat butter or tallow in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wrapped patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until the onions are golden and caramelized, and the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Add Cheese (Optional): If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty, cover with a lid, and let it melt for 1-2 minutes. Serve hot!
