Why Is America Obsessed With Oklahoma Onion Burgers

[@thatdudecancook]

apparently, a lot of people have never enjoyed a burnt onion before but if you want them less browned simply turn down the pan a little and consider not pre-salting the onions, having said that the truth is this burger was absolutely delicious just as it was but to each their own.

[@deangullberry2420]

[@toddianuzzi]

Awesome product!! Awesome video! As an onion burger expert, the original burgers were born in a time when meat was short, so they substituted with onions. Also, pickles and a Harvey dose of yellow mustard was applied in lieu of the cheese. You made the patties perfectly, searing one side and using the sautéed and steamed for the other side. I’m gonna make the salt!

Dude!!! I’ve been trying to perfect my smash burgers for years!!! It’s always missing something. Today we tried your onion hack and BRO it just took them up a whole new level!!! I just used salt in my onions but it was enough to where I just had to add black pepper for the finish!! Here in Salem OR we got a nice steakhouse that has a butcher shop on the side and they sell all their ribeye trimming ground up to about 70/30. Some nice buns, Kraft singles, and some pickled forward sauce….. BAM!!!! Hey you da man bro!!!!

[@spicerack4397]

I've tried all the upgrades for this amazingly great Depression era burger and it is perfect the way it was made way back then. Gourmet cheese does not make it better, use Kraft American processed singles. A plain white burger bun is the way it was made. Double patties do not make it better either...give yourself two burgers, single stack instead. The thinner the patty also makes it great, about 3 ozs. The cheap yellow mustard and 4 dill pickle slices are usually served in these parts of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas. Do a test test yourselves. You'll be surprised. This is about the ONLY time I would advise to Keep it Simple.

[@mdorn6592]

That sounds exactly what a McDonald's cheeseburger was like back in the 70's and 80's before they ruined their food with cheap, gross synthetic ingredients

[@GaryT1952]

Great reply Spice Rack! Steinbeck describes the process so beautifully in chapter 15 of "The Grapes of Wrath" a true depression era recipe. So many chefs on YT try to improve upon the classic...just can't do it

[@spicerack4397]

@@mdorn6592 I have actually given up making high-end, gourmet, thick, rare hamburgers...other than when I need a blue cheese fix on my burger. The thinner the better, no gourmet cheeses and no mayo on the plain white bun (lightly toasted for structure) or it will disintegrate when eating the patty. I don't even like pickles and yellow mustard, I'm a ketchup gal, but it's perfect harmony on this one.

I love you! Can you share the meat ratios for the burgers? Thank you very much for sharing so much great content

[@davidbuben3262]

Such a great question. I've been grinding my own hamburger for years, and the best advice I can give is just experiment. Try just all chuck roast. Or 1 lb. Sirloin cut into 1" cubes scattered on a sheet pan along with a cold stick of butter cut into quarter inch cubes and scattered over the meat, and freeze for 15-20 minutes before grinding. The combos are practically endless. Freeze your grinder attachments for about 1/2 hour as well. It really doesn't take very long and is so worth it. You can even safely cook to med. rare.
