# How-To Steps:
01 - Peel onions and slice into thick 1/2-inch rings. Separate into individual rings and set aside.

03 - Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
04 - Fold pickles, tomatoes, shredded cheddar, ketchup, and mustard into the cooled beef mixture until well combined.
05 - Select the largest intact onion rings. Fill each ring with cheeseburger mixture, pressing gently to create compact filling within each ring.
