Backyard cooking - Oklahoma, or recession burgers on a Blackstone griddle.
Oklahoma onion burgers got their start in the 1920's during the great depression. They were made out of a necessity to stretch the protein as much as possible. With the hamburger smashed thin and the onions pilled high you get a wonderful, flavor packed burger that satisfies your hunger. Much like all great things there is debate with where the Oklahoma Onion burger got its start. Some say El Reno, OK. Some say Ardmore, OK. I say it doesn't really matter. If you're looking for a wonderful burger with a punchy beef flavor that is really kicked up by the grilled sweet onions you wont be let down with this Oklahoma Onion Burger.
To make these delicious smash burgers,
I like to use Vidalia onions, slice them as thin as you can.
Using a mandolin cutter makes this task quick, easy, and you get a uniform results
Typically I use about 3 medium onions for 9 burgers.
Take some high quality ground beef. We are fortunate enough to have locally raised beef available to us year round. www.risingspringmeats.com is our local USDA meat processing facility. They buy local meats that a lot of the times make it to fine dining restaurants in New York. But we get the benefit of locally raised meat that's done with the care and enthusiasm that comes the farmers and ranchers. You know the quality you get when you buy local and I think locally meat is a prime example of it. We buy our meat that's processed from Rising Springs Meat Company at Way Fruit Farm www.wayfruitfarm.com They have a well stocked freezer section where you can find this amazing ground beef as well as a variety of other cuts and meats. Not to mention the whole Fruit part of Way Fruit Farm. They are our go to place for top quality locally raised vegetables, fruits, and meats.
Separate and form the beef into 1/3 (one third) lb balls
Drizzle some avocado oil on the griddle to provide some lubrication and which will eventually enable the onions to sauté better than just the dry grill.
Now comes the fun part, drop the meat on the hot griddle. Using a heavy duty spatula smash that burger thin. The thinner the better. Salt and pepper the meat to taste, and then immediately put the onions on the top. Once the patty is browned on the edges its time to flip. Smash the burger one more time on top of the onions. Salt and pepper the newly flipped meat. Rest the buns on top of the cooking patty. You want to try and brace them against each other to make like a tent so that the steam from the onions and beef can moisten, season, and soften the buns. Once the buns are soft remove the top bun and place your choice of cheese on the patty and cover with the bottom bun. That's right, with Oklahoma Onion burgers , the cheese goes on the bottom. After you are satisfied with the melt level of your cheese the burgers are Done! I find it easier to flip the bottom section of the burger onto a plate and simply place the top bun on afterwards. There we have it Oklahoma Onion burgers.
These burgers are fantastic just the way they are, or easily built upon. For instance add a good handful of sliced mushrooms at the same time you add the onions, and use some swiss cheese. it makes a fantastic mushroom swiss melt.

I should be asleep, but now I want to go wander the earth like Caine from Kung Fu for an Oklahoma onion burger.
You could probably save a whole lotta time if you just wandered over to Oklahoma. But maybe it's more about the journey.

I plan on making about 6 of these when the homeboys come through for game night. Hopefully they'll bring their own food because all 6 will be for me.
How you gonna host game night and can’t provide food….. cheap ass…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤌🏼😂😂😂
I'm Polish and what do we know about Oklahoma burgers, but I will tell you this, You Mr made my day WOW!
awesome, thanks. You should give em a try so easy to make, you wont be disappointed.
I'm from Oklahoma (now living in Texas) and just started learning Polish a few days ago
As I sit here in Oklahoma City watching this video, i realized a man in PA has it 99% correct. We put the onions on the meat before it’’s smashed down. Sid’s onion fried burgers in El Reno Oklahoma is famous for them.
Thanks! I grew up in Oklahoma City, used to live in the village. But I’ve been living here for the last 14 years.
Yep, Sid's is good.
Correct
Thou shalt not add onions to thy burger never.if it makes ya cry its not edible.
Backs up slowly with cigarette: "....you're gonna need a bigger bun."
hahahaha.
😂😂😂
😭😭😭
lol 😂
lol, yeah, I caught the movie reference. well played.
Didn’t Have a heavy spatula so I just use the garden shovel
I took a bomag roller to mine in multiple directions just to be sure
I just had your mom roll on through. Gotem.
@@jackflexington4706 rather unfair, my mother just passed away recently from cancer..please
@@Sluggo01 Sorry for your loss ... I pray you end up having a day filled with laughter
@@chaneljohns1625 Thank you and thank you very much normally I’m a laughing fun guy but there are things that can choke me I love my mother
Made these last night. Easily one of the top 5 best burgers I ever had in my 51 years and can't remember the other 4!
That is awesome! Glad you enjoyed them so much!
double with bacon, cheese, and jalapenos... is number 1
I don't know what oklahoma onion burgers are. But I do know that I'm gonna make some.
Did you end up making them? how did they turn out? We are cooking up some tonight.
Essentially a patty melt on a bun rather than on grilled rye bread.
Their just onion burgers unless your in Oklahoma.
Have you considered watching a RUclips video to learn what they are? I'm sure someone has made at least one.
@@oddprime2 years late on this but they turned out great. I had to make them one at a time in a cast iron skillet, but it was worth it. Especially since I made five and ate them all. Ever since then I make these a couple times a month, usually when I'm low on beef and craving burgers. Thanks for the recipe, dude. I'm gonna get through this next recession eating beef
Oh, great. It’s 1AM, I’m laying in bed watching this and now I’m starving. Man this looks good.
24 hours later, this is me.
I keep trying to find out why my video gets the most views late at night.
This is how I've been making burgers at home recently. Very simple, but SO delicious!
As an Okie I have to tell you the classic way to dress these is just mustard and pickles. No cheese. When I would get them at the onion burger festival in El Reno they came plain like that and were THE BEST BURGER I’ve ever had.
I had family in El Reno growing up. My mom would take us to Johnnie's every time we went. Damn I miss those burgers.
I live in Oklahoma. For my families recipe, we caramelize the onions first. That way they get extra charred and crispy when we add them to the patty and flip. We also don't smash the patties after flipping as all the fat just pushes out the side as shown in your video. We use the steam to give the buns a nice onion and beef flavor, but we also use butter to toast the bun immediately after. We also don't add cheese directly to the bun but the top of the burger after Flipping. Trust me, my family's recipe will completely redefine your thoughts about the Oklahoma Onion Smash Patty.
Thanks from France Dakota, I'll try it 👌
You’re absolutely spot on, thanks for posting these notes
Think I'll listen to the guy in the video
@@therealwewin did you have to comment that? I was just sharing what we do in my family. you should've just listened to video and not commented. toxic
@@dakotafrazier2985
Recipes are about learning
Seriously!! That burger is the bomb!!! I can smell it through my computer screen. Making these tomorrow! Thanks!!
They are delicious if you make them let me know how they turn out.
This video is not good. It makes me hungry af and my mouth can’t stop drooling. Those look way too tasty. No human can handle this delicious view without suffering!
I was thinking the SAME thing. LOL!!!
Omg I Agree !!!! IM Drooling myself !
Had us in the first half not gonna lie.
I made them last night for the first time and they were amazing.
I'm suffering now. Wow those looked amazing. Wow
Its just such a foolproof method to cooking a great burger, ty for this
You welcome! Glad you liked the video.
@@oddprime and thank you for the reply! Got yourself another subscription 👍
I love hamburguers so i love USA ,
Texas and country music is ma favourite
Why are there not more songs about Burgers, seems like country music would be all over that.
As a man on a Carnivore diet .. I APPROVE OF THIS VIDEO ..

Yo everyone is getting this on their recommend right now. Happy for you man, wish you luck. Great vid btw!
@AI AmI? The AI did the math on a President Biden lockdown and concluded a second Great Depression is coming.
Thats a fact! Awesome video brotha
Even now. Not sure why , but ok.
Dude totally! Loved the editing, sound, and video angles
Yo ?????
oh man!!! I actually could smell these cooking through my screen, MMMMMMM
They do smell amazing when you cook them. Reminds me of this beef and onion place at a local chirstkindle market.
Holy crap that is mouth-watering!!
I can smell it through my laptop screen!
Excuse me
Oh you mean the burger
@@CrazyTrainUSA Hahahaha!
@@CrazyTrainUSA lmao
I wanna say that too, but my mother inlaw is preparing soya sauce n oinion steak. She's phillipino.
Gotta say I love when the YT algorithm recommends a good burger video. Def gonna try this for the fam
Did you get a chance to make these? If so how did they turn out? They are our go to burger.
This is THE best vid on the subject. I had to search it. On the menu today.
Did you get to cook the burgers? How did they turn out?
@oddprime Superb. Its the steam. I grew up liking White Castle but not understanding why. It's the steam.
It's really a different dish from a classic burger, which I like thick and rare. It's like comparing poached salmon and smoked salmon. No point.
I live in northern Spain. So we drink wine. This goes great with a strong red wine.
wow i swear i could smell the food cooking in this awesome video !!!!!!!
Thanks!
Done this twice now with my own ground beef with brisket fat and oh my GOD! Thank you brother for enlightening me!
80 - 20 Ratio right ?
@@talkingconscience195 Or more lol
I was a vegan 30 mins ago. I've just gone out and shot a cow n dug up some onions. Beautiful.
LOL
That yard is beautiful what a view!!
Thanks we love the view, and where we live.
My wife hails from Enid, OK and grew up eating, and making these. After we married we decided to move closer to my family, so now she's an "east coaster" now...I'm born and bred eastern shore of Maryland, where the absolute "King of the Crustaceans", the beautiful Blue Crab calls home. During the summer months, at every family backyard bbq, I can look forward to two things at every cookout, crabs, and my wife's "OK Onion Burgers". Its a bit of a misnomer since these things are so much better then just, "OK"! She puts the onions on when she smashes them so their part of the burger. The other difference between these and her's, is that her onion slices are so thin they only have one side. 🆗🧅🍔😍
My knife skills arent at that level in order to slice enough thin slices. It takes me too long, we would be having burgers for breakfast still waiting on me to cut em up.
@@oddprime I hear ya...trust me, your knife skills are better then mine. We have an old mandolin that my wife got from her mother. Its a bit old school but does a great job of slicing the onions tissue paper thin.
am i the only one who recognizes the opening track?
Nope
Oklahoma born here...but migrated to Texas. making these tonight! Smells like home 🏡 🌪
Awesome video. My 4 year old really loved it!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks to this video I've been making Onion Burgers like this for a while now.
That is always awesome to hear! Glad you liked them
Yum! Reminds me of the Oklahoma Onion Burgers I used to get in Chickasha at the diner down the street from the office.
Used to visit my great grandmother in Chicasha. That’s a town you don’t hear mentioned too often.
Music at the beginning sounds like a male enhancement commercial
it's that semenax ad
haha I'm quite familiar
Sweet video, not too long, not too much talking...just right! A perfect burger for sure!
Thanks. This is our go to recipe for burgers.
Looks fantastic! I love makin these things. Great video. 👍👍
Thanks! I checked out your Onion Burger video as well, great job. Where did you get the Texas Trinity seasoning from?
@@oddprime got the rub from Ric Galindo. He's got a channel called Ric's bbq and specialties
Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen
We must not speak of the opening music.
Ok so I'm not the only one.....
Caught me off guard lmao
I make these often. I use a cast iron skillet & top with pepper jack cheese on good rye bread. Sometimes on an English muffin. Sooo crazy good!
How long do you cook them?
@@lookoutnow4996 I cook the meat side until it develops a seared crust, then flip on onion side. I lower the heat, and cook until the onions caramelize. I never timed it. It doesn't take long because the patty is pressed thin.
Sounds great!
Siendo México y viendo estos espectaculares videos
Watching with a full stomach and you still get a daayumm
One of the best Onion burger vid's I've seen! George Motz would be proud! Also, finally someone does a great job smashing a burger! Nice job!
The Motz!
@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho LOL Never said I haven't made them. The only thing I use my mandoline is for thin sliced onions for burgers. Worth it
I was raised in enid. I miss onion burgers!!!
I grew up in Edmond but my aunt lived in Enid :)
I loved as a kid (in the 70’s) going to pack a sac......those were some good burgers !!!!
Yeah pac a sack.was alright!!!! What was the place in an old train car, next st .marys. great burger's
@@bretthamilton2127 hmmm I don’t remember 🤔
I grew up in The Village in OKC. We make our way back about every year to see family.
There's always something special about the small cities and people of Oklahoma!! The food,is the connection of love,that built Oklahoma. The ,hey do you need help? Let's see what i can do attitude. Yes, I miss home!
Hello from Greece. Now you you have a friend from Greece who likes your receipt. I just made the burgers. Delicious. Thanks
Greece that’s cool. Awesome love hearing when people make these.
I grew up in El Reno, OK and have ate many of Oklahoma Onion Burgers. To this day, Robert's Grill in El Reno makes the best, the only thing your burger is missing is the homemade hotdog slaw, that makes the burger the crown jewel.
I know the traditional is mustard and pickles. The slaw sounds interesting. But for me I like em plain most of the time.
I'm a Miami boy but I'm gonna bring a little Oklahoma in my life
Nice! Did you give them a try? how did they turn out?
Homeburgers are the best! This one looks delicious. Thank you.
I don't know why but I love this video
Thanks!
@@oddprime I come back and I see you hit 1 million views. Congrats man ❤
Why do I watch these videos that make me hungry when I can't do anything about being hungry
Back In The 70's as a kid in Jersey City there was and still is there a place called the White Manner that made burgers just like that and were absolutely delicious, Yours look the same! I think someone from Oklahoma moved out to Jersey City!!
Nice job on the burgers! When I was a kid, we called these "greaze burgers" when we picked them up at Hayes Hamburgers in Kansas City North. I love the Blackstone griddle. We call ours the "Giant Bacon and Fried Rice Cooking Machine," as it excels at cooking both. For breakfast, in like five minutes, I can have eggs, sausage, pancakes, English muffins, or whatever, all with a quick wipe down afterward with a paper towel.
I was hesitant to buy mine wondering if we would use it much. We use it all the time a couple times a week typically.
@@oddprime Made burgers exactly as you did tonight, except with actual King's Hawaiian buns. Probably the best burgers I have cooked. I used a long-handled torque wrench to help smash down my burgers. hehe. Thanks Brad.
28 seconds in.... and I want to have a beer with this guy.
Ill take an IC Light please
Nicely done easy and simple
Low key, best way to cook a burger.
This is our go to way for cooking burgers. So good.
Good thing you kept this low key by posting it on the internet. We wouldn't want word to get out about this burger method. If everyone does it then they won't taste good any longer.
Onion first, Then smash. George Motz said so. Lol. Good job either way.
I feel and smells the taste 🤤🤤 greetings from south Germany Bavaria
Sapperlot, das ist grossartig! We have a lot of German influence where I live in central pa. What’s you’re favorite regional dish that you cook on the grill/outside ?
I have my son make these for Father’s Day. Love these burgers
They are delicious, what a great fathers day meal!
Heck Yeahhh Looks Good... Now I’m hungry for a Okie O Burger 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
I ate these burgers when I was in college. I would drive through El Reno and stop at the tiniest Cafe there. It smelled like heaven and was fascinating watching the cook smash the burger into the onions. I've been making them ever since. You did a great job!
Thanks, that’s a great story, those tiny places really are almost always the best.
You have a kind voice. Thank you for the great video
Your welcome! Glad you liked the video and thanks for the compliment.
That......That is a beautiful thing right there..
Thanks! We love em
The view is priceless...I loved your backyard so green
Thanks, we love where we live. There is so much to do, hopefully my future videos will be able to continue to provide glimpses into what Local means to us.
Yup came up on my recommended too!! Great video looks awesome
Never dreamed a burger with a wimpy 1/3 of meat could look so good. I’m definitely making these this week.
thanks! If you do cook them up come back and let me know how they turned out. -- just remember to pay on Tuesday, J. Wellington Wimpy
Dude, I do this now at least once a week but grind my own meat, our local Kroger always have T-bones or Ribeyes on sale like 5lbs worth for around $25 sometimes less, oh man! I also have turned on several friends to your method as well and man, you just made life a little better for all of us. Thank you my man!
That is awesome!!! also so lucky to have such great meat for that price!! Do you use a Kitchen Aid mixer/attachment to grind the meat? I have one that I make sausage with.
As an Oklahoman. I approve
My granny always smashed the onions into the burger, like in El Reno, the original onion burger capital
Looked good except... No sauce? Seriously?
Whatever you would say Okie if you’re from Oklahoma.
@@GratefulEd907 What reason would he have to lie??
@@rdr6269 I don’t know maybe so the Op will give his comment a heart. Or just to get the thumbs up from others. Maybe so people will come to the reply section to argue. I don’t know why he would lie about it but it’s pretty obvious, you don’t get sarcasm.
LOVE it. I'll have to try this!
Great cinematography.
Thanks I had a lot of fun making it.
Nice show and tell there 👍✌️👌👨🏻🍳😀
That looks really good! I’ll have to make some soon.
I'm sooo trying this version. In my cast iron I do onions separate, but in same skillet of to the side onions then burger. Cheese is added after burger FLIP. Grilled onions are my FAV! Plus whatever YOU fav condiment. I Love plain yellow mustard, but bbq sauce can be the BOSS!
Sounds great! Ive not tried them with BBQ sauce yet. I'll have to give it a go next time we cook em
And what a delicious looking burger too!
Thank you 😋 They are soooo good.
Nice! Making these tonight! Nice Beard! 🍻
I love love love onion and I'm definitely here for it!
It's so good!
Wow. So simple but looks so damn delicious. 😍
I’m from El Reno Oklahoma which is the birth place for these burgers 🍔
Best Non Click Bait Intro I ever seen! 😝

AHH, the semenex commercial music. LOL
Sounds like the baby shark song.
holy crap my instant thought
Hahaha! I knew the music but couldn't place it. Thank you.
Is that so you shoot huge, massive loads?
What the hell, this australian gold prospector i follow uses this song too im pretty sure haha
Thank you this is the burger I had for. Lunch everyday while my big brother was leaving the U S. Army from Ft. SILL. GREAT TIME'S I GOT MY BEST FRIEND AND YOUR BURGER BACK IN MY LIFE WHAT A CHRISTMAS HAPPY NEW YEAR.
That’s a great story. Happy New Years!!
whaoooahhh ! I can almost smell how good they taste !
When you’re cooking them. The beef and onion smell is amazing, reminds me of being at a fair for some reason.
@@oddprime your video had my smell O vision on high alert .. thanks for a great video
I'm making some of these for dinner tonight, thanks for the recipe 💪
Hope you enjoy, how did they turn out?

Thanks! we love em.
That looks great. I can't wait to try it.
Fricken Delicious looking 👍👍🤜👊🤛🇺🇸.....
I was introduced to this oddly enough on the west coast where a cook from Oklahoma called it a Chickasha Burger. Very Tasty!
Interesting! Chickasha is a town south of El Reno which some consider the birthplace of the burger.
thumbs up just for remembering the name Chickasha!
Came for the burger stayed for the yard
I just ate two of these last night...my favorite!
OMG, these were so good. Too cold to go out to grill so I used my cast iron skillet, but oh, so good! I am hooked!
Love hearing when other people cook these great burgers. We cooked em on a cast iron skillet and a small electric griddle indoors for a long time before I got the black stone.
This randomly showed up on my feed. I love burgers so fuck yes. Thanks for the video!
thanks!! I had a lot of fun making the video.
Got me starving over here !! Lioks great gonna try it out 👍🏼👍🏼
You def should cook em up. If you do, come back and let me know what you thought of them.
Simple yet looks delicious 😋
Got this video recommended and now I’m craving a burger
I love it when people actually “cook” the food👍🏿.
Yeah when they "cook" it I mean everything now is raw as hell ist nasty
@@jamesbarnett2417 straight facts. My food better not be pink
Burgers especially need to be cooked man raw burger is kinda gross especially if it’s from a random grocery store.
