OKLAHOMA ONION BURGERS

Big Guy has fallen in love with this recipe. It may sound like a White Castle Burger, but the cooking process is smashing the burgers into a field of shaved onions. As the burger cooks, it caramelizes the onions giving it a distinct flavor that does not require condiments.

Unless, of course, you were given a gift of a fabulous jar of maple onion jam from @larder_cupboard. The added flavor profile of maple and apple cider vinegar with the onions elevated the burger into another level served with pretzel buns.

I love the inspiration of this jam which we shared with @abrandt1026. She commented that she did not give us the jam as a gift to guilt us into serving it to her with the burgers, but we felt honored to share the experience with her, and memories, of this terrific meal.
