In Utah there is a local hamburger franchise that started up in the early 60's. They created a sauce for French fries and the patiened the name "Fry Sauce" Very much like your sauce however it is missing the ingredients that made their world famous. Buttermilk. The Franchise, Arctic Circle. 1/2 cup Mayo and Ketchup, 3 Tsp of Buttermilk and 3 Tsp pickle juice. Now you have a Life Changing Burger. Love the channel.
Has Guga done an onion smash burger yet? Just watched a video on something called an Oklahoma burger the other day and it looks BOMB. Why settle for fake powder when you can have legit caramelized onions?
Guga, I've been mixing onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper (and sometimes mayo) in my hamburger meat for a few years. I mix those into the meat before cooking. I've had compliments saying they were the best burgers each person had ever had. Really enjoy your videos and things you experiment with improving. Thanks
Made it. You are right, it is great. I must say I made my own dip mix ( in Mexico cant find store mix). From now on this is the way to go. Looking forward to your cookbook in May
My mother has been doing the onion dip burgers since I was a child (back in the 60s). She used Lipton Onion Soup mix. She mixed it into the ground beef and then made the burger patties instead of your method of putting it on the patties as they are grilling.
Dude, that onion one really did change my life! My husband and I both loved it... and he doesn't even like onion all that much. I did make my own version of the seasoning packet thing, but still. We're making them again this weekend.
I’ll have to try that French onion dip! One thing that I’ve been doing with my smash burgers is sautéing onions and mushrooms on the griddle in advance, chopping them fine, and adding it the the ground beef. Makes a great savory burger! Also I just noticed that you hit 4M subs!!!!! Congratulations!
Maybe instead of adding it to the ground beef, you should just use it like a topping? By personal experience, I found that the more things you put in a burger mix, the less it holds together.
I’m not surprised by this. One of my many meatloaves, I use the French onion soup mix along with all the basic meatloaf ingredients, and it is always phenomenally delicious. But leave it to Guga to think of putting it on a smashburger! Definitely going to start doing this to my smashburgers!
OK, Guga! I made a plate full of these 2.0 burgers for the 4th of July. My whole family practically did backflips in the yard with how awesome they were! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I just wanted to say thank you, ever since I started watching your videos, I've began experimenting with cooking. Kind of lit a passion in me for it, it's a very fun hobby.
I think everyone should have fun while cooking and experiment, that's what leads to improvement, a lot of home cooks that are bad cooks just keep making the same mistakes, with experimenting you get to tell what works and what doesn't and apply what works to a recipe and create your own. It's one of the many things I've learned to appreciate, anyways I'm glad to see someone have the same love for cooking I gained from doing the same thing, watching Guga.
Guga: 1 packet Onion Soup Mix - add to 1/4 cup worchistire sauce to let it hydrate, mix with meat then grill/smash. It's not a topping - it has to hydrate. Same with Ranch Dressing mix.
Yo Guga! Absolutely loving the look of those burgers, defenitely giving it a try myself. Say, I respect you using American cheese for your burgers, after all it melts perfectly without splitting and for burgers specifically it is just what you want. But what I wanted to ask is if you have ever considered trying to make your own American cheese? I saw an older video of yours (I think on SV everything) where you had actually made your own cheese, and there are so many other things you like to make from scratch, so yeah! What would be the Guga way of making American cheese?
I remember in one of Babish's videos (Grilled Cheese Deluxe I think) he makes his own cheese product using blends, and that melts just like American. Perhaps experimenting with different blends using that method could create the perfect burger cheese.
For the next burger experiment, in your homemade brioche buns, the experiment should be substituting wagyu tallow instead of butter in the bread dough.
I got an idea for an experiment: The butter of the gods (as a compound butter) with homemade msg, on steaks. Sounds like the perfect steak, would be curious how it tastes.
High thought of the day: perhaps you could use a mesh strainer to divide the powder from the chunks in the onion seasoning. Incorporate the solids in with the meat and use most of the powder in the sauce somehow.
The way my family has always made burgers and steaks is using Dales steak sauce. Marinating steaks for 45 minutes on each side and grilling it with salt and lemon pepper seasoning. Burgers you would mix the dales and ranch with the burger and season with salt and lemon pepper. Always turned out great for me.
Guga should try switching the order of dishes for both leo and angel just to see their reaction when leo says "omg that's so good" and angel says "what are you talkin about?"
I'd love to see Guga try provel cheese. From St. Louis, provel is a processed cheese made by combining provelone, chedder, and swiss. Fairly mild, provel gains a unique tangy flavor once its been melt, such as on a pizza or, say a burger.
It's funny my mom back in the day used French onion dip powder for burgers and they always came out good. The only difference is she made thick burgers whereas I prefer smash burgers/ thinner burgers to better taste the seasoning. All in all its extremely delicious regardless
Funny you should do this now. I had the bright idea to make french onion burgers with Swiss cheese the other day. My wife said they were the best shed ever had. Awesome video brother
Interesting, I have always added a healthy portion of minced dehydrated onions to my smash burgers, the onion soup must escalate that onion-y goodness with the chives and other ingredients. Awesome tips!
Angel is right! Ever since I started smashing burgs at home, I just can't eat Five Guys/In and Out/etc any more. Guga, finely chop up some garlic and onions, and get some relish in that sauce! I'm sure you'll love it! As for me, I'm gonna have to find some french onion dip packets to test out! Thanks again for kicking butt!
If you want to try another burger experiment (can't smash them due to the ingredients) make something akin to a meatloaf burger. Basically dice some onions and mix them into the meat with seasonings and an egg, no bread crumbs. Then fry them up. You'll get nice texture on the burger along with great flavor from the onions. For even more of a boost, mix in bacon and/or mushrooms (canned ones work or if raw, cook them down first).
This is spot on the real deal. I've been meaning to do this since last year. Finally, did it just now. Only difference is I put it on after flipping so it wouldn't burn. And I used cheddar. Friggin' DELICIOUS. It's a WINNER!
Did this with the onion dip mix exactly as guga says and it was wonderful! Also made another one but added bacon and carmalized onions and I think it got even better!
Been making burgers with the french onion dip powder for the past month , ever since I watched this video, I haven't made them any other way! Thanks for the amazing tip!
@@AceMcCrank I didn't know. I actually discovered his channel until recently, I have seen many of his videos but not all of them. I'll check it out! Thanks
Bless your heart for recommending American Cheese. I’ve been advocating this for years. It is absolutely the perfect cheese for a backyard burger or even a smash burger. It just has unmatched melting properties.
It melts perfectly. Also, it's why I like Preggo spaghetti better than fancy Italian restaurant sauces. It's what I grew up on, and it what I expect it to taste like.
@@TheNyster yeah, no. Wagyu literally means Japanese cow, 4 breeds Kuroge, Akage, Mukaku, and Nihon Tankaku. All wagyu is Japanese and is noted with a certificate of origin and authenticity. otherwise it must be stated as American or Australian "wagyu". American and Australian crossbred one of those Wagyu breeds with Angus cattle to create their own hybrid to market as "wagyu". the intramuscular fat content determines its final marble score grading.
Suggestion on version 3.0, do it Oklahoma style. For the burger, go for 30:70 fat to lean meat ratio and grind some short rib in there. When cooking, aside from the French onion dip powder, add very thinly sliced onions on top before flipping and get those onions caramelized. Also, try using Japanese mayonnaise instead of the regular variant and Dijon mustard instead of yellow. The changes don’t make the burger overly complicated, but I bet it’s going to put even more depth to this burger. Now I want a burger too…
Hi Guga, please dry age in edible dirt/ clay. It would be so interesting to see what tones and flavours it would give the meat! This is the 113th time asking btw!
My mom always said the "secret ingredient" in her burgers is the ranch seasoning powder. We used a lot more than you used in this though and also use Worcester sauce, in not just the sauce, but the meat too
Bro, I do understand the need for good seasoning to create the best tasting food for ail types, BUT to get the most out of your seasoning, it is imperative that you season at the right time. Smash burgers are very juicy when they are flipped, therefore, when you are going to season the burger do it after you flip them, where the seasoning dissolves with the juices on the top to get the most out of the seasoning. When you put the seasoning on the raw side of the burger then flip them, the seasoning is being cooked past its recommended usage, or chemical status. In this way, you will get the most out of the seasoning. I think this explains why the Ranch seasoning did not perform as well as the onion soup mix. Just a thought from a smash burger lover!
Burgers look amazing...but incomplete. Gotta upgrade and it'll change your life forever. Top them with Jiffy peanut butter (good amount, with or without nuts), jelly of your choosing (good amount as well), and freshly sliced jalapeños (with or without the seeds). The keys to heaven are now yours!
I've personally done the French Onion Dip mix for decades. I blend it in with the meat, then sprinkle on top halfway through cooking. Glad you discovered it now too, can't go wrong with an extra punch of flavor!
So the next level to that is to combine cooked potroast with raw ground beef and minced onions, mushrooms, garlic, tomatoes, green onions, and serrano peppers (or whatever spicy pepper you prefer), season it with alittle goya sazon and mash it together. Roll it into a ball and then smash it on the grill or skillet with american cheese and then serve place on the buns with the special sauce on the buns already and smash and enjoy. Smash burger V3 this right here is the ultimate! For the ones that are willing to go the distance into the land of paradise.
I live in WA state and when I get off work I enjoy watching you, Sunny from The best food show, and Matty Matheson along with a couple others to help build my appetite so I can eat something.

Guga. This was delicious. Had the wife watch this video which was her first Guga video she watched and she made me make the french onion dip burgers. They were amazing!! Thanks for all of the amazing content.
I grill smash burgers 'every' weekend. The family and friends can't get enough but, I usually smother with grilled onions seasoned and balsamic drizzle. I am going to try the onion soup mix instead and get their comments. Thanks for this video guys!
Guga, Angel, Leo, Maumau, somebody. It is time you learned of the chile of the gods. One thing commonly asked at a restaurant for many many dishes is red or green. You can even order Christmas (both). Stumps everyone outside of New Mexico, Colorado is the exception. It comes in no heat (why, why why?) mild, medium, hot, and continuing up to so hot you'd rather eat a habañero. It makes meats, pastas, side dishes, cultural and regional dishes, change traditional, and even ice cream. As useful as garlic, salt and pepper. It is called, The Green Chile. Add your heat preference to that burger, and you will make version 3.0 of this burger. Even Angel will have 1 vegetable he won't throw out. So it is enough talking and time to use some Green Chile.
Ive worked at 4 fast food places (steak n shake, wendys, checkers, five guys) and two american scratch kitchens (Simply saras in jax and plan chek in La) anyone who is familiar with iconic burger places will know plan chek. I can confirm that the all time best burger is a smoked/seared 60/40 brisket & chuck on a sesame brioche bun with muenster cheese. Sauce is mayo/mustard and ketchup. Ive probably had 1,000 burgers in the last few years, no joke. What I described is the best burger ive had and for everyone Ive ever made it for.
I cooked this Burger today and i have to say, it was amazing! I never made a burger this good by myself and even my wife, who isn't particually fond of burger, loved it. Please keep up with your good work. With best regards from germany!
U gotta go to the deli counter and get that deli American cheese. It’s much sharper then the individual packed cheese. So in the end the burger tastes better because of the sharper cheese. Just my opinion. BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DELI CUT AMERICAN CHEESE COMPARED TO KRAFT SINGLES!
My signature burger combines a hash brown patty with a sauce comprised of mayo and Lipton onion soup mix. If you make the sauce fresh, it has crunchy bits intact.
I like the beef french onion soup mix when I'm doing burgers, meatloaf, meatballs etc. I learned that trick from my mom, who has been doing this for years.
How about this idea: do a smash burger in a pan (or flat top) like normal. But on the flip put it on a hot grill with a flame. Then you get the flavorful crust plus the flame broil. Best of both worlds!
I mix 93/7 beef, 2 eggs (per 1lb beef), onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Then make your patties. Top it off with sharp cheddar cheese. My son calls them "dad's famous burger." 😁 Yum!!! 😋
The fact that angel has an uncle like guga that HE ALSO WORKS FOR and he’s still in shape is a miracle.

would be interested to try with Japanese mayo instead, its regularly used for fried chicken(karage) mixes and stuff. be curious if in the difference.
that sounds amazing, normally i just make my burger meat like someone would make meatballs and then put mustard in the mix
Mixing the seasoning in the meat will make them tough. Add seasoning on top of the patty.
I disagree
I’ve been using onion soup mix since forever. I let it set in the meat for a few hours to soften up the onion pieces . Always amazing

is it better you season the beef of the burger or season them while they cook on the skillet
@@burundianfamily2982 I'd say on the skillet since you have a lot of sugar in that mixture and that is prone to burning fast.

Hey Guga, have you considered making your own burger seasoning based on the french onion poweder? I bet people would love it

My brother and I have been adding onion soup mixture to our burgers for 20 years. Always enhances burgers. Glad you've discovered it, Guga!
I’m gonna be making these burgers tomorrow for the fam. Can’t wait to see their reaction. They are used to bubba burgers on the grill 😂🤣😂
I grill smash burgers 'every' weekend. The family and friends can't get enough but, I usually smother with grilled onions seasoned and balsamic drizzle. I am going to try the onion soup mix instead and get their comments. Thanks for this video guys!
Usually I will mix the onion mix in the ground beef then form the patties, I am definitely going to apply the seasoning on the patties when cooking.
I have never seen him more excited 😊
Guga, Angel, Leo, Maumau, somebody. It is time you learned of the chile of the gods. One thing commonly asked at a restaurant for many many dishes is red or green. You can even order Christmas (both). Stumps everyone outside of New Mexico, Colorado is the exception. It comes in no heat (why, why why?) mild, medium, hot, and continuing up to so hot you'd rather eat a habañero. It makes meats, pastas, side dishes, cultural and regional dishes, change traditional, and even ice cream. As useful as garlic, salt and pepper. It is called, The Green Chile. Add your heat preference to that burger, and you will make version 3.0 of this burger. Even Angel will have 1 vegetable he won't throw out. So it is enough talking and time to use some Green Chile.
My mom used to mix Lipton Onion Soup mix into our burgers all the time when I was a kid back in the 70's. That's an old, well seasoned burger hack.
If you leave some muenster out at room temp, it will melt comparably well as the American cheese. Brie works well too but is tricky to slice.

As a burger lover, I am so grateful you made this video so everyone can try.
Ive worked at 4 fast food places (steak n shake, wendys, checkers, five guys) and two american scratch kitchens (Simply saras in jax and plan chek in La) anyone who is familiar with iconic burger places will know plan chek. I can confirm that the all time best burger is a smoked/seared 60/40 brisket & chuck on a sesame brioche bun with muenster cheese. Sauce is mayo/mustard and ketchup. Ive probably had 1,000 burgers in the last few years, no joke. What I described is the best burger ive had and for everyone Ive ever made it for.
I cooked this Burger today and i have to say, it was amazing! I never made a burger this good by myself and even my wife, who isn't particually fond of burger, loved it. Please keep up with your good work. With best regards from germany!
U gotta go to the deli counter and get that deli American cheese. It’s much sharper then the individual packed cheese. So in the end the burger tastes better because of the sharper cheese. Just my opinion. BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DELI CUT AMERICAN CHEESE COMPARED TO KRAFT SINGLES!
AGAIN you have the best food videos on RUclips!
“Because once done I now have my balls ready to go” I heard this at the beginning of the video and just started dying 🤣🤣.
Wow, the video is actually better! I haven’t watched the video for a long time but, the new ones are interesting!
Thank you, guys! For always bringing a smile to my face and making me hungry!
My signature burger combines a hash brown patty with a sauce comprised of mayo and Lipton onion soup mix. If you make the sauce fresh, it has crunchy bits intact.
I like the beef french onion soup mix when I'm doing burgers, meatloaf, meatballs etc. I learned that trick from my mom, who has been doing this for years.
You know its good when Guga is the one finishing the burger before leo
Your editor is spot on!
How about this idea: do a smash burger in a pan (or flat top) like normal. But on the flip put it on a hot grill with a flame. Then you get the flavorful crust plus the flame broil. Best of both worlds!
I mix 93/7 beef, 2 eggs (per 1lb beef), onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Then make your patties. Top it off with sharp cheddar cheese. My son calls them "dad's famous burger." 😁 Yum!!! 😋
This sounds great
that was AMAZING thank you guys for making all of these awsome vids
0:59 had my mother breathlessly laughing.🤣
Guga, you have one hell of a presentation skill!
