-
1 1/3
pounds
80/20 ground beef
-
1
large yellow onion
-
2
tsp
seasoned salt
-
4
hamburger buns
-
desired toppings
-
Divide 1 1/3 pounds of 80/20 ground beef into four 1/3 pound patties. Then slice a whole yellow onion into 1/8-1/4 inch slices.
-
Then place a slice of onion down on a flat surface, add the 1/3 pound of ground beef and then top with another slice of onion. Then push the onion down to form a patty that has the onion embedded in it.
-
Preheat your grill to medium/high heat.
-
Season both sides of the burger with seasoned salt.
-
Place the burger over the heat and grill until you start to see juices bubbling up around the top piece of onion. Then Flip.
-
Grill until the burger is finished to your liking. I would give you a specific amount of time, but it varies based on burger thickness, grill temp and desired doneness. I like my burgers medium so I usually cook for another 4 minutes after the flip. Once again, this varies based on the burger and grill.

Remove and serve with your favorite toppings.
I used a Burger Press to get uniform patties, but you can do this by hand. If you are having a little trouble getting a nice flat burger without a press, place a piece of plastic wrap over the burger/onion and then place a cutting board over it. Then press down and form the patties.
