3. Add onions, stirring occasionally until translucent 2-3 minutes.

5. Butter both sides of buns and place face down in skillet or on griddle. Cook until browned and toasty. Set aside or push to offside of big griddle.

6. Increase heat to medium to medium-high. Get it hot! Heat 1 Tablespoon avocado oil and 1 Tablespoon butter. Place 2-4 ground beef balls into hot skillet (all 4 if using a bigger skillet or griddle).

7. Using a heavy, flat spatula (or grill press), smash the burgers very flat.

8. Season with salt & pepper. Cook undisturbed until edges are browned, 2-3 minutes.

9. Flip patties. Cook 1 minute.

10. Add mushroom and onion mixture to each smashed burger patty. Top with cheese. Cook until cheese melts and to desired doneness (1 minute for medium-rare).

12. Serve with fries and a side salad.
