Onion-Wrapped Flying Dutchman Burger

Ingredients

• 1 large yellow or white onion (Cut thick slices from the middle of the onion.)
• butter (Use some for cooking the onion and more for cooking the beef patties.)
• oil (For cooking the onion; amount not specified.)
• beef (Use a handful per patty; form into balls before smashing.)
• salt (Season the onion and both sides of the patties to taste.)
• black pepper (Season the onion and both sides of the patties to taste.)
• American cheese (Add to the patties after flipping; amount not specified.)
• burger sauce (For assembly; amount not specified.)
• relish (For assembly; amount not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut thick slices from the middle of the large yellow or white onion, keeping the slices substantial enough to serve as the burger’s outer wrap.

2. 2

   Heat a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add some butter and oil, then carefully place the onion slices in the pan.

3. 3

   Cook the onion slices over medium heat until they are slightly brown.

4. 4

   Season the onions with salt and black pepper. Flip the slices, season the other sides, and cook until those sides are also slightly browned.

5. 5

   Remove the browned onion slices from the pan and set them aside.

6. 6

   Add some more butter to the same cast-iron pan.

7. 7

   Take a handful of beef and form it into a ball. Place the beef ball in the pan and press it down with a spatula or burger press to form a patty.

8. 8

   Cook the patty for 2 minutes. Season the cooked side with salt and black pepper.

9. 9

   Flip the patty, season the second side with salt and black pepper, and add American cheese.

10. 10

    Continue cooking until the American cheese melts. Repeat the beef-patty process to make a second patty, if needed for the two-patty assembly described.

11. 11

    To assemble, place one browned onion slice on a board or plate. Add a burger patty, then add burger sauce and relish.

12. 12

    Place the second burger patty on top, then finish with another browned onion slice. Serve immediately.

Notes

The source does not specify exact amounts for the butter, oil, beef, seasonings, cheese, burger sauce, or relish. It also does not specify the exact number or weight of patties beyond the assembly describing two patties, so use two handful-sized patties. The source mentions a medium flame but does not provide a pan temperature.
