Smashing Onions: The Secret to Perfect Oklahoma Fried Onion Burgers

The Institute of Culinary Education shares a recipe for Oklahoma-style smash burgers, where sliced onions are pressed directly into the beef patty. As the meat cooks, the onions crisp up, adding texture and flavor to the burger. The recipe calls for cooking the burgers on a flat surface, such as a cast iron pan, and topping them with cheddar cheese and steamed buns. The result is a quick and delicious burger that can be customized with condiments of your choice.
