      Carefully flip burgers with a stiff spatula, making sure to pick up all browned meat from skillet. Let cook until onions start to soften, about 1 minute. Add cheese and top with top bun. Place bottom bun upside-down over top bun to allow it to steam in the onion vapors.
    4. 4.
      When buns are soft, transfer bottom buns to a plate. Add condiments if desired. Lift up onions, burger, and top bun together and transfer to bottom bun. Repeat with second burgers. Serve immediately.

        4) Take a handful of the onions at a time, shake off the excess milk, dredge them in the flour making sure you shake off a lot of the flour and add them to the hot oil.

        5) Fry them for a couple minutes making sure you stir them around half way through the cooking time to make sure every strand is crispy.

        6) Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel lined plate.
