½ pound ground beef
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1½ teaspoons chicken hamburger seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded, divided)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut off the tops of the onions and hollow them out using a sharp knife and spoon.
In a cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat and caramelize two chopped onion cores until golden brown (about 15 minutes).
In a bowl, combine ground beef, cooked onion mixture, salt, seasonings, Worcestershire sauce, and half of the Gruyere cheese.
