Cheeseburgers Never Get Old!

I must be a fat kid at heart because I sure do love food and I used to be really picky, especially about burgers.  This is a really simple recipe.  They turn out pretty good for not grilling them and for not using typical hamburger buns.  I normally serve with fries but I had some left over sweet potatoes so I made baked sweet potatoes. 

Ingredients
ground beef
cheese
onions
olive oil
butter
sugar
salt
condiments to taste

Directions
So I always make caramelized onions to go on my burgers which are optional so you don't have to include if you don't want to.  If you do make sure you start those first.  Slice them from the top of the onion down so that you have nice long slender pieces.  Put oil and butter in a frying pan and heat over medium heat (for 1/2 onion I use a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of oil)  If you're onions look like they are burning you can always add more oil or butter.  You want to stir the onions occasionally.  Not too much but enough so they are not burning.  After 10 minutes sprinkle salt and sugar over the onions.  To prevent the onions from drying out you can add a little water (which is what I always do)

Let them cook for 30 minutes to an hour stirring every few minutes.  You want to leave them alone enough to let them brown but not to burn.

For the burgers you just form your burgers with your ground beef depending on how thick you want them.  I never add oil because they will create their own fat grease.  I cook for maybe 15 minutes and the last minute is when I add the cheese.

For the sweet potatoes
I wrap them in foil and let them cook for 45 to 75 minutes at 400°F (bigger sweet potatoes take the longest) You will know they are finished if the outside is dark and some juices are running out of them or if you can stick a fork through it and it is not difficult to push in or pull out.  Slice it open and add what you want.  I always add butter and brown sugar.
