Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger
Introduction:
The Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger is a beloved regional specialty that originated during the Great Depression as a way to stretch ground beef and make it more flavorful. This hearty burger features a seasoned beef patty topped with a mound of thinly sliced onions that are pressed into the meat as it cooks, creating a deliciously caramelized crust. Served on a toasted bun with your favorite condiments, this burger is a true taste of Oklahoma comfort food.
