Form the patties: Divide the ground meat into four 8-ounce portions. Using a kitchen scale for accuracy, press each portion into a uniform patty, ideally using a metal ring mold, on a piece of parchment paper. Place the formed patties on a plate or baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Prepare toppings and preheat griddle: While the patties chill, slice the white onion into thick rings. Preheat a flat-top griddle or a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. You want it very hot for a good sear.

Cook the patties: Generously season both sides of the chilled patties with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the seasoned patties on the hot griddle. Press down lightly with a spatula to ensure full contact and a good sear. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place two slices of American cheese on top of each patty to melt.
