Ingredients

1 lb 80/20 Ground beef
8 American cheese
4 Brioche buns
1 Onion
1 tbsp Dad's All Purpose rub
1 tbsp Yellow mustard

Instructions

Roll 8 equal sized balls from the ground beef.
Thinly slice a yellow onion.
Preheat the grill or flat top to a high heat.
Place the ground beef rounds on the grill and add a handful of the shredded onions on each ball. Using a spatula smash the beef down.
Season the top of the smashed patties with Dad's All Purpose rub.
Using your spatula, flip the patties and cook the other side. The onions will cook with the meat for a tasty mix. Finally, place a slice of cheese on top of the patty.
Once the cheese is nice and melty, double stack the patties and remove from the grill.
Lightly toast the potato buns.
Finally, take your toasted buns and add just a little bit of mustard on the bottom. Next, add two patties right on top of that, top with a couple slices of pickles and that's it. And just like that, you have your simple and tasty smash burger! Enjoy!

Notes

Beef:

An 80/20 blend of ground beef has the ideal fat ratio to get a perfectly juicy burger. The higher the lean percentage, the drier the patty will be.

American Cheese:

While not a fan favorite, this is the perfect cheese to get the melty, gooey feel to a burger.

Mandoline:

One of those essential kitchen tools! You will use it all the time. All your veggies will be evenly sliced, without you stressing on how sharp the knife.
If are missing the veggie gripper, stick a fork in the onion, it will save your fingers when slicing.

Flat top:

The ideal way to grill the Oklahoma Onion Burgers is on a flat top grill or griddle. If you don’t have that, you can get a portable flattop that fits on the grates of your grill.
Either way, I recommend doing it outside. It will keep the mess out of your kitchen.
