Preparation

  • Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat, coating it with olive oil or cooking spray.

Cooking

  • Grill the onion rings for about 5-7 minutes until they’re beautifully caramelized.

Assembly

  • Assemble your burger starting with an onion ring as the base, add the beef patty with melted cheese, and top with another onion ring.

Serving
