What\u2019s not to like about them? They\u2019re tasty, filling, and \u2014 if you load them up with toppings like tomato, lettuce, and onion \u2014 offer a fairly nutritious mix of protein, carbs, and veggies.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bWhat I also like about the humble hamburger is exploring its many regional variations. New Mexico\u2019s green chili burger? Fantastico. Minnesota\u2019s Juicy Lucy? Amazing. Utah\u2019s pastrami burger? Brother, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=68eue5cpbsE\">I\u2019ll gladly pay you Tuesday<\/a>&nbsp;for a pastrami hamburger today.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bBut my absolute favorite regional burger hails from my own home state: the Oklahoma fried onion burger.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bBoy, I love this burger. Its beauty is its simplicity. It\u2019s basically a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/living\/food-drink\/how-to-make-the-perfect-diner-style-smash-burger\/\">smash burger<\/a>&nbsp;with onions in it. Just two thin patties, with fried, caramelized onion, cheese, and a bun. Hot diggity burger, it\u2019s tasty.<\/p>\n<h3>The History of the Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger<\/h3>\n<p>\u200bThere\u2019s some debate about how the fried onion burger was born, but the general story is that it originated back in the 1920s, in a small town west of OKC on Route 66 called El Reno.<\/p>\n<p>A father and son duo named Homer and Ross Davis had a place there called the Hamburger Inn. As beef was expensive, the Davises kept the price of their burgers down by reducing the meat portion of the patty and smashing thin-sliced onions into it. The result was a cheaper burger that still gave diners a meal that felt like it had some substance.<\/p>\n<p>When the Great Depression hit, this cost-saving measure became even more appreciated, and what was dubbed the \u201cDepression burger\u201d really took off.<\/p>\n<p>The name may have been a little unappetizing, but the concoction was decidedly tasty.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bWhile the original purpose of smashing onions into the burger was to stretch the meat out, the unintended consequence was that it added layers of deliciousness. When you smash those onions into a screaming-hot flattop grill, the edges caramelize and crisp, and the patty drinks up all that sweetness from the onion.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe Oklahoma fried onion burger was a hit with patrons, and soon other places in El Reno started making them. Many of these establishments are still in business. Robert&#8217;s Grill has been flipping onion burgers in El Reno since 1926, Johnnie&#8217;s joined in the &#8217;40s, and Sid&#8217;s Diner opened in 1989 and was featured on that spiky-haired culinary madman Guy Fieri\u2019s show <em>Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last summer, our family made a road trip to eat an onion burger at Sid\u2019s (and see the town where <em>Twisters <\/em>was filmed). The burger was okay. Solid. I enjoyed it. I always enjoy a burger. But I wouldn\u2019t make the 2-hour drive to El Reno from Tulsa to eat it again.<\/p>\n<p>You can find other onion burger joints around Oklahoma. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tuckersonionburgers.com\/\">Tucker\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;is one of them. This OKC-based chain has a location in Tulsa, and puts out a legitimately tasty onion burger. They\u2019ve got this big ol\u2019 boy of a burger called the \u201cMother Tucker,\u201d which has <em>three<\/em>&nbsp;patties. It weighs over a pound, and it\u2019s an experience, my friend.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, though, instead of outsourcing my fried onion burger consumption to dining establishments, I decided to try making them at home.<\/p>\n<p>Friday night had long been Burger Night in the McKay household, and I\u2019d make your standard backyard grilled burgers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/living\/food-drink\/pellet-grill\/\">on my pellet smoker.<\/a>&nbsp;Always enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bBut a couple of months ago, I had the hankering for an onion burger, but didn\u2019t want to eat out. So I slapped a griddle we had into the smoker and got it scorching hot. While the griddle heated up, I sliced some sweet onions really thin and created some balls of 80\/20 ground beef. Once the griddle was hot, I got to work. As quick as you can say \u201cJack Robinson,\u201d I had fried onion burgers plated for my family.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bReader, the family\u2019s review of them was unanimous: <em>amazing<\/em>. Better than our usual burgers. Better than famous Sid\u2019s in El Reno. Still not as good as Tucker\u2019s \u2014 game respects game \u2014 but a worthy at-home substitute.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe Oklahoma fried onion burger has become the McKay household\u2019s go-to burger.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bToday, I\u2019m going to explain how you, too, can make them this Friday. Even if you\u2019ve never visited the Panhandle State, you\u2019ll probably never go back to another way of making homemade burgers again.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.fprp2l7xyy0i\">How to Make an Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"h.trmch5zctpm7\">What You Need<\/h3>\n<p>\u200b<strong>A griddle or cast-iron skillet.<\/strong>&nbsp;To make these onion burgers, you need a flat-top surface that can get really, really hot in order to give those burgers a nice crispy brown crust and those onions that delicious caramelization. If you\u2019ve got a Blackstone griddle like many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/character\/knowledge-of-men\/suburban-manhood\/\">American suburban men <\/a>do these days, you\u2019re locked and loaded to easily make grilled onion burgers. If you don\u2019t have one, you can buy a cast-iron griddle for your grill. If you don\u2019t have a grill, you can cook them up in a cast-iron skillet on your stove \u2014 but realize that it\u2019s going to get really smoky in your house; these burgers are best cooked outside.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B078WKC8B4\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;language=en_US\"><strong>Heavy-duty spatula.<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;You\u2019re going to be smashing your burgers flat, and to do so, you need a heavy-duty spatula \u2014 something thick, wide, and made with stainless steel. A nice metal spatula will also help you flip the burgers while retaining the delicious brown crust that will form underneath.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/49RPFAb\">Mandoline slicer.<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;You\u2019ll use this to slice your onions super thin.
