3. The mixture will have a sticky and wet consistency. 
4. Gently form the meat mixture into 3 balls, then lightly press down to form the patty.
5. Make a 1 inch indentation in the centre of each patty with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
6. Heat grill with oil, place the patties 5 to 8 minutes on each side.
7. Once grilled, place a cheese on top of the patty and let it melt. 

Caramelised Onions: 

1. Add in your onions to your grill and stir fry it with the same oil used for the burger (for the flavour to be infused) 
2. Stir to coat the onions with the oil evenly.
3. Slowly cook the onions on low heat for a good 20 minutes till they become soft, and rich brown in color. 

Stack your burger: 

1. Spread butter on your burger buns and toast them.
2. Top with lettuce, tomato, caramelised onions and the beef patty! 
3. Serve Hot. Your juicy burger awaits you! 

Enjoy!
