A Delectable Journey to Flavor Town
Are you ready to sink your teeth into something juicy, flavorful, and downright delicious? Imagine, if you will, biting into a perfectly cooked burger topped with sweet caramelized onions that just melt in your mouth. Welcome to the world of Oklahoma Fried Onion Burgers!
- 1 lb ground beef - The star of the show!
- 1 tablespoon butter - For frying up those onions to perfection.
- 1 large onion sliced - Sweet, sweet onions that add flavor.
- Salt and pepper - Because we all need a little seasoning love.
Prepare the Onions: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook gently until they turn golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Form the Patties: While the onions are cooking, take the ground beef and form it into hamburger patties, making a small indentation in the center of each to ensure even cooking.
Season the Patties: Season both sides of the patties generously with salt and pepper.
Cook the Patties: In the same skillet or on a grill, place the patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them over and place a generous amount of the caramelized onions on top. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, or until the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
Toast the Buns: If you’d like, toast the burger buns in the skillet for a minute or two to add a little crunch.
Assemble and Serve: Place the cooked patties on the toasted buns, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
