Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 lb ground chuck
  • 1/2 small onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp Merkts Sharp Cheddar Spread
  • Salt
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Soft hamburger bun

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating a cast iron skillet on medium, to medium high heat.
  • During this time, form the ground chuck into a loose meatball shape. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, to your liking.
  • Add the ground chuck to the cast iron skillet, and let it sear, and cook for a couple of minutes. Then, with a large spatula smash the burger down, completely flattening it. Let cook another minute, then flip it over. You should have an awesome, caramelized burger. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add the thinly sliced onions over the top of the burger, letting the burger steam the onions. After a couple of minutes, flip the burger, along with the onions, over, allowing the onions to cook.
  • Add the Merkts cheese on top of the burger and allow that to begin to melt.
  • Place the burger onto the bun, and serve.
