Gently mix to incorporate the seasonings; do not overmix or burgers will be tough. Form into 6 patties, about ¼ pound each. Sprinle lightly with Celery Salt. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers to the skillet (in batches if necessary) and cook until lightly charred on both sides. Use a cast iron press to smash burgers slightly, then add the sliced onions and butter around the burgers and cook, moving the onions around occasionally, until the onions are slightly wilted. Drizzle with some of the Homemade Worcestershire Sauce and stir to distribute the sauce. Place some of the onions on top of the burgers, top with cheese, and cook until the cheese melts. Place the buns on top to warm slightly if desired, then serve the burgers on the buns, drizzled with more Homemade Worcestershire Sauce to taste. 6 servings .
