Did you know there's a Throwdown going on? Actually two of them. Fast food & Burgers. Come join us and win great prizes. http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=86


Anyhow, one of my favorite burgers is an OK onion burger. Fell in love since the first time I had one at Tuckers in Oklahoma City.

This is one of theirs, glamour shot.

Start out with a HUGE onion. This one is actually to small. You'll need more.

Slice it as thin as you can. If you have a mandolin, even better, you'll end up with a huge pile.

.Throw them in a colander and salt them, then let them hang out for about an hour. A bunch of liquid will drain out letting them crisp up much better than if you didn't. I got 3/4 cup of liquid out of that one onion. Rinse off the onion, it's really salty, then give it a good squeeze to get the rest of the water out.

Made some 2oz balls and smashed them down.

Smash the onions into the burgers. Like I said, not enough onions.

Flip and let the onions get crispy.

These burgers require cheese flaps. Not the same if you use real cheese.

Double them up

Oklahoma onion burgers are some of my favorites. Your burgers look better than their's, Andy! Delicious!
 
I've never been a fan of Oklahoma, never been a huge fan of onions, never been to London, never been to France, never seen a queen in her damned undies, but I would eat that burger up faster than you could count! Awesome job and every so often a cheese flap is the best option
 
Looks great Andy. I've never had one of those but I can tell it has to be full of flavor. Nice tip on draining the cut onions.
 
Nice! Those look delicious. Those are pretty good burgers!
 
Ooooh, supposed to be working in OKC soon, and our pup is named Tucker. Guess I pretty much HAVE to go there.

You burger looks quite a bit better, and so do those spuds!
 
Looks great, you all are going to be the death of me lmao, got ribs and wings defrosting and now I want 1 of those burgers now lol coarse there is Lunch before supper right ? :-D
 
I've not been to Tuckers, nor bought an onion burger in a while. We got a little joint on this side of town called Old Time Diner that makes a good onion burger.

But yours look better.

Kosmos Q worked in an onion burger joint in El Reno, when he was in high school, here's his version, and oh yeah, the mandolin onion slicer he recommends is a good one.

I’ve been to Tucker’s, and they are really good, but yours actually look better!

You should send me 3 or 5 of them so I can determine which one is actually better!

This is the slicer I have. Sharp as hell, four different thicknesses to choose from.
