Get ready to sink your teeth into a classic American burger experience with the famous George Motz Onion Burger. This mouthwatering creation pays homage to the rich culinary heritage of Oklahoma, where it originated. Each bite is a tantalizing combination of juicy beef, caramelized onions, and a touch of nostalgic Americana.
The George Motz Onion Burger begins with a generous patty of high-quality ground beef, expertly seasoned and formed into a perfectly shaped disc. The beef is then cooked on a griddle or a hot skillet, allowing the patty to develop a beautiful sear on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside.
But what sets the George Motz Onion Burger apart is the glorious addition of caramelized onions. Thinly sliced onions are cooked low and slow, allowing them to develop a sweet and savory flavor profile. As they sizzle on the griddle alongside the beef, they release their natural sugars, creating a rich, golden-brown caramelization that adds depth and complexity to every bite.
As the beef patty and onions cook in harmony, the aromas of sizzling beef and sweet onions fill the air, teasing your senses and building anticipation for the culinary delight to come.
To assemble the burger, the patty is carefully placed on a soft, toasted bun, which cradles it like a culinary canvas. The caramelized onions are generously piled on top of the beef, imparting their rich, savory sweetness to every mouthful.
The George Motz Onion Burger can be enjoyed as is or personalized with your favorite toppings and condiments. Whether you prefer classic American cheese, tangy pickles, or a smear of mustard or ketchup, the choice is yours to create the ultimate burger experience.
One bite into the George Motz Onion Burger reveals a symphony of flavors. The juicy beef patty, perfectly cooked and seasoned, blends harmoniously with the caramelized onions, creating a satisfying balance of savory and sweet. The combination of textures, from the tender beef to the soft bun and the slight crunch of the onions, adds another layer of delight to this culinary masterpiece.
Whether you're indulging at a local burger joint or recreating the magic in your own kitchen, the George Motz Onion Burger is a classic that captures the essence of American comfort food.

Ingredients
All Ingredients
2 pounds ground-chuck (80/20)
2 large Vidalia onions, sliced super-thin (they should be translucent and thinner than paper)
American cheese, deli-sliced
8 soft white buns, toasted
Salt, for seasoning
Peanut oil
Instructions
Fried Onion Burger
Step 1
Pre-heat the flat top grill skillet over medium heat and add a drop or two of oil. Spread the oil with the flat side of your spatula to coat the surface.
Step 2
Place the ground beef in the mixing bowl. Using the salad scoop, form balls of beef, gently releasing them into the hot pan with 2 to 3 inches of space surrounding each.
step 3
Season each beef ball with salt. Grab a golf ball-sized pile of the thinly sliced onion and push it into the center of each ball of beef so it sticks, for the most part. Smash each ball to make a patty. This requires more force than you'd think. Don't worry about smashing the patties too thin—they'll shrink up to the size of your buns as they cook. The onions should fuse nicely with he raw beef.
Step 4
Once they're smashed don't touch again until ready to flip, about 5 minutes or until red moisture begins to form on the top of the patties. Flip the glorious beef and onion fused patties and slide a slice of American cheese on top of each. Cook for an additional 2 to 2.5 minutes, then transfer to the toasted buns. Serve immediately.
