How to Make Grilled Cheese Burger Sandwich

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread
• 2 slices of cheese (your choice)
• 1 beef burger patty
• 1 onion, caramelized
• Butter for grilling
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Begin by caramelizing the onions in a skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown.
2. In a separate skillet, cook the beef burger patty over medium-high heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook to your desired doneness.
3. While the patty is cooking, butter one side of each slice of bread.
4. In another skillet, place one slice of bread, buttered side down. Add a slice of cheese on top, then the burger patty, caramelized onions, and another slice of cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
5. Grill the sandwich until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve hot.
