Slice each hamburger bun into thirds.
Cook the patties for about 3 minutes per side, flipping once.
Top each patty with 3/4 slice of cheese. Each serving (2 patties) will get 1 1/2 slices of cheese.
Dice the white onion and toss with the vinegar in a small bowl, set aside.
In another bowl, combine the ketchup, mayo, and relish.
Assemble the burgers.
Add 1/2 tbsp of the sauce to the bottom bun layer. Top with one of the patties, followed by some diced onion, and lettuce.
Add the middle section of the bun, and repeat the process, adding another 1/2 tbsp of the sauce, a patty, diced onion, and lettuce.
