SARAH'S OKLAHOMA ONION BURGER

Onion burgers are one of America's greatest regional renditions, but be warned--these are diner style, and prepare for those drops of grease, but don't let it scare you. They're so craveable, you may want to eat a second! You do not want to use anything under an 80/20 fat ratio. If you do, they won't be good.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, very thinly sliced
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
1 pound 85% lean ground beef
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Hamburger Seasoning
½ cup sliced portobello mushrooms
ground black pepper to taste
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 rolls rolls or buns, hamburger, white, enriched, plain

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter and oil; heat until butter is melted. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, divide ground meat into 4 portions and shape into patties. Season with salt and seasoning.
  • Heat a large skillet or flat-top over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Place patties into the hot skillet and smash with a spatula or bacon press. Hold patties down for 30 seconds, then cover each patty with some of the cooked onion. Cook for 2 minutes. Carefully flip burgers, making sure to scrape the browned bits off the skillet.
  • Press down on the flipped patties to sink the onions into the meat.
  • Meanwhile, add sliced mushrooms to the skillet used for the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Season patties with salt and pepper and place a slice of cheese on each. Cook until burgers have reached the desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes more. Top each patty with leftover onion and mushrooms and serve on buns.
