Instructions
- Caramelize Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized and golden brown, about 15–18 minutes.

- Assemble: Spoon the beef mixture onto toasted buns, top with cheese slices, and broil for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- For more flavor, try a mix of ground beef and pork.
- Experiment with different cheeses like gruyère or mozzarella.
- Serve with sweet potato fries or a green salad for a complete meal.
