Oklahoma Fried Onion Smash Burger

Weigh your portion of ground beef and shape it into a 3 oz ball.

Using a heavy spatula, smash the patty into the pan.

Season patty with onion, salt, and pepper.

When the patty develops a crust, use the back side of the spatula to run under the patty and pull it apart from the pan.

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheese to the patty and let it melt.

In a small bowl combine all ingredients. Use a whisk to mix thoroughly.

Toast buns.

Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each bun.

Add a patty with melted cheese on top.

Finish with the top half of the bun.
