Instructions

Get prepped

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Make the seasoning

  • Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.

Cook the onions

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet and cook the sliced onions over medium heat until softened and browned. Don’t cook on too high of a heat, we’re looking for soft onions.
  • Stir ¼ cup of BBQ sauce into the onions. Set aside.

Make the burgers

  • Divide into 4, and shape into patties.

Cook the burgers

  • In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium high heat. Cook the burgers 5 minutes on each side, until fully cooked (temp should be 160°F)
  • Add a slice of cheddar to each burger and allow it to melt a little.

Assemble

  • Toast the burger buns until golden brown.
  • Spread each bun half with a little BBQ, and a little mayo.
  • Add the burgers to the bottom half, top with onions.
  • Add tomato slices and a lettuce leaf, then add the top bun.

Serve
