Ingredients
  

For the Onion “Bun”:
  • 1 large yellow onion cut into ½-inch thick slices
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt pepper, and sugar (to taste)
For the Patties:
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 blend
  • McCormick Steakhouse Onion Burger seasoning optional
  • 4 slices American cheese or your favorite cheese
For the Burger Sauce:
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tsp pickle juice optional
Additional Items:
  • Parchment paper for smashing patties
  • Water for steaming onions
  • Cooking spray optional for griddle or pan

Method
 

Prepare the Onions:
  1. Slice the yellow onion into ½-inch thick rings.
  2. Coat each slice with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.
Form the Burger Patties:
  1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal parts (about 3-4 oz each).
  2. Roll each portion into a ball, then place between parchment paper sheets.
  3. Smash the patties flat using a heavy skillet or burger press. Season with McCormick Steakhouse Onion Burger seasoning.
Grill the Onions:
  1. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place the onion slices on the griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip to cook the other side.
  3. Add a splash of water to the griddle and cover with a lid to steam the onions for about 2-3 minutes until softened. Set the onions aside.
Cook the Burger Patties:
  1. On the same griddle or skillet, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
  2. Flip the patties, immediately add a slice of cheese to each, and cover with a lid to allow the cheese to melt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the patties are done.
Make the Burger Sauce:
  1. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and pickle juice (optional).
  2. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Burgers:
  4. Use one of the large cooked onion slices as the base.
  5. Place a cheese-covered patty on top of the onion, then add a generous amount of the burger sauce.
  6. Add a second cheese-covered patty and another onion slice to create the "top bun."
Wrap and Serve:
  1. Wrap the burger in parchment paper to keep everything together and minimize mess.
  2. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Variations: Try swapping the cheese or adding crispy bacon for extra flavor.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove for best result.s
