Directions

1. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, 8-10 minutes. (TIP: If onion starts to brown too quickly, add a splash of water.) Stir in vinegar and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings). Continue cooking until jammy, 1-2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat. Remove from pan and set aside in a second small bowl. Wash out pan.
2. Shape beef into two equal-sized patties; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used to cook onion over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook almost to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. Top each patty with cheese. Cover pan to melt cheese and allow patties to finish cooking, about 1 minute.
3. Halve buns and place, cut sides up, on a second baking sheet. Toast in oven until golden, about 3 minutes. Spread buns with ketchup and garlic mayo (to taste). Fill each with a patty and as much onion jam as you like.
