apparently, a lot of people have never enjoyed a burnt onion before but if you want them less browned simply turn down the pan a little and consider not pre-salting the onions, having said that the truth is this burger was absolutely delicious just as it was but to each their own.
Burnt onions all the way for this guy. I can never get em sliced thin enough because I dont have an adjustable mandolin slicer so burned onions are never an issue
Awesome product!! Awesome video! As an onion burger expert, the original burgers were born in a time when meat was short, so they substituted with onions. Also, pickles and a Harvey dose of yellow mustard was applied in lieu of the cheese. You made the patties perfectly, searing one side and using the sautéed and steamed for the other side. I’m gonna make the salt!
Sonny PLEASE adopt me as your brother and another camera man you don't have to pay me just feed me your delicious goodness of food my goodness brother I need this in my life 😂
mind blown! that rolling the burger ball patties in the seasoning to get it all coated nice and even WHAT!?!? why am i now just seeing how genius that is
@@toeey1 I’m 28 and my motto now days is I’ll try any food atleast once and if I don’t like it I don’t like it but you’ll never know till you try. I used to hate sauerkraut when I was younger and now I frickin love it on dogs lol
@@toeey1why do you have it in your freezer if you don’t like it? Why take it if you know you don’t like it, that’s weird mate? Why are you scared to cook it? That’s even weirder you’re grown don’t be scared of food. Do you need some attention or something?
I've tried all the upgrades for this amazingly great Depression era burger and it is perfect the way it was made way back then. Gourmet cheese does not make it better, use Kraft American processed singles. A plain white burger bun is the way it was made. Double patties do not make it better either...give yourself two burgers, single stack instead. The thinner the patty also makes it great, about 3 ozs. The cheap yellow mustard and 4 dill pickle slices are usually served in these parts of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas. Do a test test yourselves. You'll be surprised. This is about the ONLY time I would advise to Keep it Simple.
That sounds exactly what a McDonald's cheeseburger was like back in the 70's and 80's before they ruined their food with cheap, gross synthetic ingredients
Great reply Spice Rack! Steinbeck describes the process so beautifully in chapter 15 of "The Grapes of Wrath" a true depression era recipe. So many chefs on YT try to improve upon the classic...just can't do it
@@mdorn6592 I have actually given up making high-end, gourmet, thick, rare hamburgers...other than when I need a blue cheese fix on my burger. The thinner the better, no gourmet cheeses and no mayo on the plain white bun (lightly toasted for structure) or it will disintegrate when eating the patty. I don't even like pickles and yellow mustard, I'm a ketchup gal, but it's perfect harmony on this one.
@@spicerack4397 It's because they fry them (or at least use to) in cottonseed oil, a non-food ingredient...back to the topic of using cheap synthetic ingredients... inedible

When you knocked on the pot you steamed the bun with, someone in my house turned on disco music and the knocks fit perfectly with the song I laughed for 5 minutes straight
Old Oklahoma boy here. I didn't know it was a nation wide hit. You did a great job! The only condiment I have to have is yellow mustard. I've never made them with the drained onions but I'm going to now, master Sonny. Thanks, always learning something new from you. Like how you zest lemons and limes. The old way I always got too much pith.
Yes, we love our state. Sooners are just so salt of the earth, down home people. Just try driving the backroads and the occasional people you see can't help but wave at you. It used to make me so mad. JK.🙂
Dude!!! I’ve been trying to perfect my smash burgers for years!!! It’s always missing something. Today we tried your onion hack and BRO it just took them up a whole new level!!! I just used salt in my onions but it was enough to where I just had to add black pepper for the finish!! Here in Salem OR we got a nice steakhouse that has a butcher shop on the side and they sell all their ribeye trimming ground up to about 70/30. Some nice buns, Kraft singles, and some pickled forward sauce….. BAM!!!! Hey you da man bro!!!!
The strangest burger I've had, was a rattlesnake burger. My uncle introduced it to me when I visited the family. All he said was, I know a burger joint you should try. He ordered it, I bit into it and it was actually good. My uncle and store owner told me what it was after I had eaten it. 🙃
Would love to see you do a breakdown of Oklahoma Onion Burgers vs Patty Melt. Many, many similarities (and many, many differences). Put the ThatDudeCanCook analysis on it ... and let the world know which side of the fridge gets damaged the most! :)
Always wondered if you could or should dehydrate the rosemary salt. Put it in a low oven to make it more shelf stable and less clumpy, or if that defeats the purpose of using fresh ingredients
The only things I would change. The cheese would be the oldest sharpest real cheddar. I would also put the slightest amount of mayo. Oh might use a toasted ciabatta roll, totally optional.
I gotta say, the mandoline is one of my favorite tools. Having said that, the worst injuries I’ve had in the kitchen came from that dang mandoline Always respect the mandoline for what it is
Oh yeah. Nothing like taking a little slice off the tip of your finger, running for the gauze and medical tape, and stuffing your hand into a food prep glove. And starting all over again. Because....beer. Use the gaurd.
That looks really good. I'm not an onion guy but when they are caramelized they are awesome. I just really wanted to see what the other side looked like
I miss the recaps of why it’s so good.. the descriptions of all the flavors.. the mouth watering words that tell me all the goodness coming from the food.
Love the rosemary salt. Tip for a different smash taste: reverse the the bottom patty so crust is resting on bottom bun, that way both top and bottom of pile have crusty & cheesy sensation while caramelized onions are concentrated in middle of heap.
Youre getting a ton of mileage out of that rosemary salt recipe. It makes an appearance in many of your videos. And with good reason...Its damn good. I have a batch in my fridge as we speak.
Oklahoma Onion burgers are as easy to make as they are delicious.. (assuming you've been paying attention and already have Sonnys rosemary salt premade, of course. 🧐😆)
Because...they are so damn good! You can do all sorts of stuff with burgers and it will be very hard to make one better than an Oklahoma Onion Burger, double meat, double cheese. And all it needs is yellow mustard and a slice of quality pickle. I prefer Claussen.
I made your rosemary salt and dry brined it on my thanksgiving turkey. It made the Turkey INCREDIBLY flavorful. People: If you’re not making this salt, you’re missing out!
Once your editing skills improve. I need to see a Street Fight 2 Hurricane Kick on the fridge. Until then, I'll settle for a magnetic Mortal Kombat Scorpion Hook attachment with a "Get over it" and pull it to the ground. Just some ideas.
Love it. Also some B roll of a quiet sorta truce of you and the fridge sitting by the campfire, at night. Maybe cowboy it up a little, because...Texas. Maybe even a horse tied off to the side. Quiet reflection. Coyote howling.
I made these by accident 20 years ago. Was trying to make a full size whitecastle burgers. Still make them to this day, found out a few years a ago they were actually Oklahoma burgers. Awesome burgers kudos to Oklahoma. If you never tried Whitecasltes, these have a similar taste. Burgers cooked on top of steaming onions.
There is a rite of passage that comes with the purchase of your first mandoline: slicing the tip of your finger or thumb off. The good news is, the blade is so sharp, you can just stick the severed bit back on your finger, bandage it up good, pretend it was just a scratch when your wife asks about it, and the finger will be good as new in a week or two. I only had to learn that lesson once, now I generally use cut resistant gloves.

Wow. Even know about them in Germany. My momma's side was German. Pa's side was Czechoslovakian as Grampaw came over through Elis island as a small child, around 1900. Migrated to Oklahoma from West Virginia. Still have fond memories of the German food momma made. One of my favorite. They also ate a lot of beans, usually with cornbread. Was still a tradition when I was growing up. Still make them to this day. With smoked ham hocks though.

My papa used to make burnt onion soup..uka. You heard of it, dude? If so can you post a recipe?
Ignore the haters that only eat microwaved dino nuggies. You know what's up.
Burnt onions, for those who know...
Burnt onions all the way for this guy. I can never get em sliced thin enough because I dont have an adjustable mandolin slicer so burned onions are never an issue

My hometown of El Reno, Oklahoma is where they originated. If you are ever driving through stop at Sid's!!

Rosemary salt is so freaking good!!! When you know, you know!!
I tried your liver and onions 2 nights ago, it was absolutely amazing! Only difference was that I used greek seasoning as well.
Nice!! good for you as well

And wind. Lots of wind too
And humidity.
I got a mandoline basically just to make Oklahoma onion burgers. They're so good.

You Sonny have by far my favourite RUclips cooking channel, well done on the amazing content.
Thanks for the amazeballs burger recipe
You are welcome. Enjoy!
As a native of Oklahoma, I have to say..."if you know, you know".

I have lived here for 38 years and only found one restaurant that makes them. My grandmother used to, but never realized it was a state thing.
All the Oklahomans realizing their state got mentioned by someone: 👁️👄👁️ (I'm from Oklahoma)

@@davidbuben3262 lol I'm an Oklahoman and originally from the country, I definitely agree 😂😂😂
Also, Dude, “Oklahomans” is not the preferred nomenclature. “Okies,” please.
Them niggas worse than Alaska
The last time I heard Oklahoma, was when I watched Dirty Rotten Scoundrels ruclips.net/video/yGUNrHWZaVs/видео.html
Like so many of his recipes, I made this tonight, and whole family loved them!
Love this channel!

I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE your Rosemary Salt!!
I use it on everything!
This is the best technique I’ve seen for these. Will definitely do this next time I make one.
Onion burgers (with butter and mayo) are godly.
Any burger without vegetables/ salad in it (barring the onion of course) is a GOOD BURGER
Love the fridge destruction techniques master
Love the rosemary salt! Great looking burgers! Keep the videos coming!

Tastes just like Chicken???
@@step4560 can't remember the taste,but the texture and color was like fish. This happened in Oklahoma also.
Doesn't count unless you killed it yourself
Looks amazing!! I'm shocked by how much the sliced onions reduced after you salted them after 20 min. WOW!
I make these for my family on a Blackstone griddle. Never squeezed the onions though. Rosemary salt UBER ALLES!
Oh wow...the onion game just went to the next level. Daddy like.
A bit different from George Motz’s, not quote as smashed, but your process with the onions looks beneficial.
Thank you for the coveted Rosemary salt
That onion hack !!!!! That is amazing sir !!!!! Love it
I have seen a couple variations of this burger made on other channels and YOURS LOOKS THE BEST TO ME!! Thanks dude, you are awesome!
you're one of the very few people on YT/TK that actually makes me laugh (:
Rosemary Salt is the best, use on all my meat dish even with dressing or stuffing 😋😋 thank you such a good homemade seasoning.👍😉
YESSSSS BEST KIND OF BURGERS
Making rosemary salt and these Oklahoma onion burgers tonight! Sonny, you are the man!
Just wanted to say. Still making these. Made them for everyone I know. Bought a fancy French cast iron pan to improve my burger game. Can't be beaten.
Would love to see you do a breakdown of Oklahoma Onion Burgers vs Patty Melt. Many, many similarities (and many, many differences). Put the ThatDudeCanCook analysis on it ... and let the world know which side of the fridge gets damaged the most! :)

All that is fine, but it's not a Oklahoma onion burger. Sorry, not sorry.
One of the finest burgers in the HISTORY OF AMERICA!
Great technique and awesome recipe as always - serve with onion rings.
This Dude Can Cook!
This is rapidly becoming my favorite cooking channel. No real point just saying.
Dude, brilliant idea salting the onions to remove excessive liquid. Much like a cucumber when making tzatziki sauce.
Great content here as always my guy 💙💙💙
Can't wait to try this one!
Very good burger, all the ONIONS!! YUMMY
Does the fridge ever land any good shots on ya ? I’d love to see some vids expounding on the lore between you two…
You are very good at these videos. Best cooking channel on the Tube.
I love the rosemary salt! Absolutely the best!
I gotta say, the mandoline is one of my favorite tools. Having said that, the worst injuries I’ve had in the kitchen came from that dang mandoline
Always respect the mandoline for what it is
Haha, I haven't injured myself on mine, but my neighbour has. Use the guard!
I love the mandolin, but nothing terrifies me more.
I sometimes use a cut resistant glove... Along with the guard. The mandoline is indeed scary.
Oh yeah. Nothing like taking a little slice off the tip of your finger, running for the gauze and medical tape, and stuffing your hand into a food prep glove. And starting all over again. Because....beer.
Use the gaurd.
That looks really good. I'm not an onion guy but when they are caramelized they are awesome. I just really wanted to see what the other side looked like
I hear you! caramelized are the best
Me either but always get a cheese onion burger at JW's in Chickasha OK!
@@thatdudecancook Yes I would've liked to have seen what the onion side was like. That said, you can hit my fridge whenever you like .
That dude can cook!
You forgot to put mayo on the bottom bun..... other than that,.... I'm hungry now.
So, you like toasted buns, and you cannot lie.
Wow, that looks good.
Hands down best chef on RUclips🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼
Agreed. A little bit of genius, a little bit of crazy. In a good way.

🤣🤣🤣 "he's sentient, don't make fun of him" lmfaoooo
I usually just season the ground meat all together then roll them up into balls. A little garlic salt, pink salt, black pepper.
Making this tomorrow!
Did anyone else LOL when he said what he said at 4:10? l don't think I will ever grow up.
Oh good grief. 😂
This looks so good, going to have to try this next time I'm in the mood for a burger.
Because...they are so damn good!
You can do all sorts of stuff with burgers and it will be very hard to make one better than an Oklahoma Onion Burger, double meat, double cheese. And all it needs is yellow mustard and a slice of quality pickle. I prefer Claussen.

Seems easy. Will try it
I promise, I was going to click myself out of the video, but then he said " Keep watching and I'l show u how " So I had to keep watching.
Thanks man
The onion burger is a good burger. My kids even ask me to make them. Fellas add this burger to your arsenal. Trust me.
that Rosemary salt really changes up whatever you’re cooking
Straight to the point, amazing recipe can’t wait to try it
Once your editing skills improve. I need to see a Street Fight 2 Hurricane Kick on the fridge. Until then, I'll settle for a magnetic Mortal Kombat Scorpion Hook attachment with a "Get over it" and pull it to the ground.
Just some ideas.
we definitely have these kinda plans for the future! just need some crazy editing tools and skills first
Love it.
Also some B roll of a quiet sorta truce of you and the fridge sitting by the campfire, at night. Maybe cowboy it up a little, because...Texas. Maybe even a horse tied off to the side. Quiet reflection. Coyote howling.
Awesome tip on the MicroPlane!
I come for the food but stay for the fridge abuse
Hey Sonny, Have you tried using a dehydrator on your rosemary salt to allow it to keep longer?
I made these by accident 20 years ago. Was trying to make a full size whitecastle burgers. Still make them to this day, found out a few years a ago they were actually Oklahoma burgers. Awesome burgers kudos to Oklahoma. If you never tried Whitecasltes, these have a similar taste. Burgers cooked on top of steaming onions.
that's what we call a happy accident

Rosemary salt = win! Works a treat on so many things. 👍
There is a rite of passage that comes with the purchase of your first mandoline: slicing the tip of your finger or thumb off. The good news is, the blade is so sharp, you can just stick the severed bit back on your finger, bandage it up good, pretend it was just a scratch when your wife asks about it, and the finger will be good as new in a week or two. I only had to learn that lesson once, now I generally use cut resistant gloves.

It was a depression time recipe. Meat was expensive. And onions can substitute meat to a certain extent.
