Joisey Ed's Mini-Burgers

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3-5 minutes
Serving Size: your preference
For Each Burger:
3 ounces Ground Beef
Thinly Sliced Onion 
Dash of Worcestershire Sauce
Sprinkle of Season Salt
Cheese of your choice
1 Dinner Roll, split open and ready to go (I like the mini potato rolls)
Preferred burger Garnish
Heat a skillet over medium/high heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil, if desired and depending on skillet. 
Roll 3 ounces of ground beef into a ball. Thinly slice onion. 
Place burger ball into hot skillet and press flat with spatula into 1/2 inch patties. Sprinkle patty with season salt. Cook 2-3 minutes, depending on burger preference (rare, medium etc). Flip at desired doneness. 
Add a dash of worcestershire to patty. Add onion, then immediately add cheese and TOP half of dinner roll. *This is the key as it will seal in the heat and moisture and cook the onions* Pretty cool, huh?!!
Cook another 1-2 minutes. Remove burger when done and place on remaining bottom half of dinner roll. Garnish at will! 
Enjoy and when they ask (and they will) - tell 'em Joisey Ed sent ya!
