Method
Burger Patties
Prepare the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then divide into two equal portions and shape into patties.
Melt the Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
Onions
Caramelize the Onions
Slice the onion thinly. In a pan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
Special Sauce
Make the Special Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, and garlic powder until well combined.
Burger Assembly
Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger buns if desired. Start with the bottom bun, add a layer of lettuce, place one beef patty with melted cheese, add a layer of caramelized onions, some tomato slices, and a generous drizzle of special sauce. Add the second beef patty with cheese on top, followed by papitas, and finally the top bun.
