Cheeseburger with Caramelized Onions and Tomato

Method

1. In a large bowl, mix ground beef with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Form 4 equal-sized beef patties and cook on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side.
3. While the patties cook, sauté onions in butter over medium heat until softened, about 10-12 minutes.
4. Add brown sugar and cook for another 5 minutes, until caramelized.
5. Place cheese slices on top of each cooked patty and let sit for 1 minute to melt.
6. Assemble burgers with tomato, lettuce, and buns.
7. Serve with caramelized onions on the side.
8. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
