Cheeseburger without the bread...great for dieters or burger lovers...quick and easy.

Ingredients

1/2 stick Butter

1/2 Onion, peeled and thinly-sliced

1/4 lb. Ground beef

1 Slice cheese

1 cup Lettuce

1 Small tomato, sliced

6 Sweet pickle slices

2 tbs. Mayonnaise

1 tsp. Mustard

1 tsp. Ketchup

Preparation

Melt butter in pan. Add onions and caramelize (cook until they start to turn black). Then push onions to sides of pan (to stop cooking, but keep warm) and put ground beef patty(s) into center of same pan. When patty is brown on one side, turn and top with cheese slice. Turn heat on low and cover pan so cheese will begin to melt.

While onions and beef are cooking, arrange plate with lettuce, then tomatoes. Spread thin layer of mayonaise over all (to taste).

When meat is cooked, center ground beef patty on lettuce. Spread mustard and ketchup over top of cheese, then cover with the cooked onions. Garnish lettuce with pickles and serve.

Cook's Notes

Recipe can be changed depending on what you like on your cheeseburger. Type of cheese can vary. Company and family members have enjoyed being involved with the preparation of their "special" individual salad. A one dish meal. For more than one serving, just use a larger pan. The flavor is best in a cast iron skillet. I have also used honey-mustard dressing to replace the mayonnaise. You're only limited by your imagination.
