Ingredients
- 1 lb pound Ground Beef 80/20
- 1 Large Yellow Onion Thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 4 slices American Cheese
- 4 Hamburger Buns
- 1 Tbsp Butter Melted
Instructions
- Divide 1 lb ground beef 80/20 into 4 balls that are approximately 4 ounces each. Place them in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook them.
- Preheat a Blackstone grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
- Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter on the 4 hamburger buns. Place the buns on the griddle for 2 minutes to toast them, then set them aside while you prepare the beef.
- Evenly place 1 large yellow onion that has been thinly sliced into 4 piles on the griddle. Place the beef balls on top of each onion pile. Then top each one with a piece of parchment paper and firmly press down to smash the beef into a thin patty with either a burger press or a large spatula. Discard the parchment paper. Season the patties with 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Cook the patties for 2 to 4 minutes until the juices in the beef start to rise to the top and the color starts to change. Scrape under each patty to get under all the onions and flip the patty. Once flipped, smash down each patty again with the burger press or spatula so that the juices from the patties drip down into the onions for more flavor. Cook for 1 more minute. Then place 4 slices American cheese on the patties to melt.
- Then it's time to assemble your burgers. Carefully remove the patties from the griddle once the cheese is melted and place them on the buttered buns.
- Then the fried onions burgers are ready to enjoy!

Notes
When preparing the balls with the beef, do not pack them together. Loosely roll them into balls so that they are easier to smash.
You can use 90/10 or 93/7 for this recipe to lower the fat content in this recipe, but we think that the 80/20 gives the best flavor to this recipe.
