Ingredients (Makes 1 Burger)

• ½ lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
• 2 slices American or Swiss cheese
• 1 full slice of white onion
• 1 large lettuce leaf
• 1 slice of ripe tomato
• 2 tbsp Thousand Island dressing
• 1 toasted hamburger bun
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Form the patties – Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and shape them into thin patties, slightly wider than the bun.
2. Cook the patties – Heat a skillet or griddle to high heat. Season both patties with salt and pepper, then press them onto the hot surface for a crispy crust. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, flipping once.
3. Melt the cheese – Place a slice of cheese on each patty while still on the skillet, letting it melt.
4. Toast the bun – Lightly toast the bun in a pan or on the griddle for extra flavor and structure.
5. Assemble the burger – Spread Thousand Island dressing on the bottom bun. Layer on the lettuce, tomato, and onion slice. Place the first steakburger patty on top, followed by the second patty.
6. Finish and serve – Place the top bun over everything, press lightly, and serve hot with fries or onion rings.

Tips for the Best Homemade California-Style Burger

• Use fresh, crisp toppings – Lettuce and tomato should be cold and crisp for the best contrast.
• Caramelize the onion – For a slightly sweeter flavor, grill the onion instead of using it raw.
• Toast the bun well – A toasted bun holds up better and adds extra flavor.
