Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring often, for 20–25 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Season lightly with salt.
