Wonder-ful Italian Cheeseburgers

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Stir in 2 TBSP vinegar and reduce heat to low (we’ll use the rest later). Cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 10 minutes. (TIP: Add a splash of water if vinegar evaporates.) Remove onions from pan and set aside.

Meanwhile, combine ground beef and Italian seasoning in a large bowl with your hands. Shape into four patties slightly wider than the buns. Season with salt and pepper. Wipe out pan used for onions, then heat a drizzle of oil in it over medium-high heat. Add burgers and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side.

While burgers cook, place buns on a baking sheet cut-side up. Sprinkle cheese onto top halves of the buns. Place in toaster oven or oven to toast buns and melt cheese, 3-4 minutes.

Stir together chili powder and ketchup in a small bowl and set aside. (TIP: If your kids aren’t fans of spice, set aside some plain ketchup for them.) Toss lettuce with a large drizzle of olive oil and remaining vinegar in another large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
