Heres a tip that I use for smashies. After you oil the grill, sprinkle some flakey salt down on the grill before you smash the beef down, then again on the beef before flipping. It enhances the flavor of the crust formed on the patty ALOT, thank me later 😎

I'm not exactly sure why these Oklahoma onion burgers have suddenly shown up everywhere. They are an Oklahoma tradition that's been around for a long time. But FYI, they sounded so tasty that I had to try my own "veganized" version. I've made them with store-bought vegan mushroom & quinoa burgers (cheap) as well as more traditional tasting plain vegan burgers using a little olive oil for frying. I put a lid on to fully steam the buns (best way) and melt the vegan cheese slices (Violife is the GOAT) in the last minute. And both versions were delicious AF! And the best thing of all: no animal had to live in misery or be slaughtered for my pleasure!

That’s one mighty fine Oklahoma onion burger David! I’m really digging your outdoor kitchen! Well done! Cheers!

I know it's late for a comment, but use White Onions. Those onions don't burn and are the best to use.
The White Onions work so much better..👍🏻

If you ever make it to Oklahoma City you gotta stop in at Nic's Grill and get one of the best onion burgers ever put on a flat top.

I bought LeGriddle based off one of your earlier videos in our new pavilion. My question is what temp do I set LeGriddle for hamburgers? Not smashed bbut standard cook,

[richhansen]

Great video but do yourself a favor and ditch the individually wrapped cheese and try either Kraft Deli Deluxe or the Great Value Deluxe unwrapped American cheeses they are much better tasting and melt as good or better on burgers.

That looks amazing. I do want to say I watch alot of cooking videos on Youtube, and every single one of them the person on the video takes a bite and its always delious. Just once I would like them to take a bite and say (Oh my, that taste like total CRAP)

[KillerMillerQue]

Great looking burger and a great overall video! I'll be taking my first stab at these tomorrow

[geomundi]

don't oversalt the onions; that's what gets done most often; you do need drier onions, so its tricky

[lucascady]

Put the onions on before you Smash the first side! 😂😮

[PaulieDetmurds]

To me, it is nothing more than a large White Castle Cheeseburger. Not saying that it's a bad thing, ...I am saying it is good.

For over 20 years, i made sliders out of meetballs. i would press them flat and my grandma would get mad.. because she took her time making them 😂

[kevinstafford]

[lumber-jackha]

No no no it was called the depression burger, it actually started in the military because of finds for the military was in a depression along with Americans and it caught on across America.

[markbradakis]

Put a handful of onions on the patty before you smash it.

[rob]

[gregorywalker]
