Oklahoma Onion Burger
An Oklahoma-style smashed beef burger where thinly shaved onions are pressed directly into a ball of ground beef on a hot griddle, so the onions caramelize into the crust as the patty crisps. Topped with a slice of melted American cheese and served on a toasted bun with pickles and mustard.
