Start with fresh ground beef, 80/20 for flavor and juiciness.

Use a tortilla press to form two patties of equal size.

Fold a slice of American cheese into quarters and place it in the center of one patty.

Cover with the second patty and press together, smearing from the center out.

Heat a cast-iron griddle on medium-high heat until screaming hot.

Place the beef patty on the griddle and add sliced Walla Walla sweet onion on top.

Season the patty with plenty of salt and pepper.

Cook until juices appear on top, then flip the burger and poke with a toothpick to relieve pressure.

Toast regular hamburger buns on the griddle if desired.

Assemble the burger with the patty and onions on the bun.
