Big Skillet Burger with Cheese

• 1 egg, beaten
• 3/4 pound ground chuck or ground round
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 3 slices American cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Mix together egg, ground beef, salt, and minced onion. Grease 8-inch skillet (oven-proof); lightly pat half of the meat over bottom. Arrange cheese slices over meat layer and top with remaining meat, patting to make a smooth surface. Sprinkle with pepper and cut into 4 quarters. Cook over medium-high heat until bottom is nicely browned. Put skillet in oven and broil until top is browned and burger is cooked through.
