Ingredients
1 kg ground beef
2 large onions, sliced
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1 head of lettuce, torn into large sections of leaves (about as round as the buns)
8 hamburger buns
4 tbsp butter
8 slices of American cheese
Montreal Stake Seasoning (Who says Canada isn't in the Americas???)
pickles, dill if you can find them, sweet if you can't
ketchup
mustard
mayo
Directions
Pat out 8 beef patties. I cut the bottom off a 4 1/2 inch plastic bowl and use the upper portion as a mold.
Place 4 patties in a large frying pan over medium heat. Sprinkle some Montreal Steak Seasoning over them and check them occasionally.
Once the bottom of the patties are dark brown flip it. You can check to see if they are done by poking the middle to see if there is any pink juice left in them.
Flip the patties one last time after they are don and place a slice of cheese on each patty so the cheese melts before transferring to a paper towel lined plate.
Repeat with the other 4 patties.
Meanwhile, place another large pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of butter. Spread the butter around the bottom of the pan. Open 2 of the buns and place them in the butter with the inside (white part) down. Once toasted, remove and set aside. Repeat with other 6 buns.
Place a Patty and cheese on the bottom half of a bun. Top with pickles, onion, tomato, and lettuce. spread condiment(s) of choice on the top bun before completing the burger.
