Let's make it!

This classic diner sandwich is so easy to make.

1

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the sliced onions.

2

Cook the onions while stirring occasionally for 2 minutes, then add a tablespoon of water and continue cooking and stirring while spreading the onions evenly on the pan. Keep adding water whenever the onions dry out and start sticking to the pan.

3

Cook until the onions are soft and caramelized (reached a rich brown color). The process takes about 15 minutes. Remove the onions from the pan and set them aside.

4

Season the beef with salt and pepper, and shape into balls and flatten them and season with salt and pepper again. Then in the same skillet melt 1 tablespoon of butter, and add the beef and flatten as you would do with a smashed burger.

5

Cook on one side for 2 minutes without turning to allow a brown crust to form, then turn and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes. Remove onto a plate, and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.

6

Spread softened butter and mayonnaise over one side of the bread, and place in the skillet to toast for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

7

Butter the other side, flip and cook for a minute then reduce the heat to medium-low and layer 2 slices of cheese followed by the beef patty, caramelized onions, 2 more slices of cheese, and cover with bread. Allow to cheese to melt. Remove onto a plate, slice in half and serve.
