Oklahoma Smash Burgers (Onion Smash Burger)

I love smash burgers and I love onions. These onion smash burgers take smash burgers to the next level. You get the meaty deliciousness of the burger and the sweetness of the grilled onions. If you love onions you definitely need to give these a try.

Ingredients:

1 lb of ground beef (I used 80/20)

1 large white onion

salt and pepper to taste

Your favorite cheese (the best cheese for smash burgers is American cheese)

Instructions:

• Slice your onions as thinly as possible

• Place onions in a bowl and add around a teaspoon of salt

• Let onions rest for 20 minutes

• Remove onions and squeeze out excess moisture

• Place the onions into a different container

• Set heat to high on your griddle or pan

• Add a thin layer of oil

• When surface begins to smoke add your meat ball

• Add a large amount of your thinly sliced onions

• Place a square piece of parchment paper on top of the meat ball and onions and smash down with a metal spatula

• Smash the meat down until evenly flat around a 1/4 of an inch

• Remove the parchment paper and light dust with salt and pepper

• When you see the edges of the meat begin the brown flip the burger over

• Add cheese

• Once the cheese is completely melted remove the burger and place onto a toasted hamburger bun

ENJOY!!!!
