Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Onion Wrap
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced into thick rings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
Toppings (Optional)
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- Pickles
- Mustard
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Prepare Patties: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and form each into a thin, wide patty slightly larger than the onion rings. Season both sides with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.
- Form Onion Wraps: Separate the onion slices into individual rings and select the largest ones. Carefully press an onion ring around the edge of each beef patty, creating a secure onion “wrap” that will hold during cooking.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization.
- Cook Burgers: Place the onion-wrapped patties onion-side down on the hot surface and cook for 3–4 minutes until the onions soften and start to brown. Flip the patties and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the beef is fully cooked through.
- Add Cheese and Melt: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty while still on the heat. Allow the cheese to melt slightly for rich, creamy flavor.
- Serve: Remove the cooked burgers from heat and serve hot with optional toppings such as pickles, mustard, or ketchup. Enjoy the burger bunless for a keto-friendly meal.
Notes
- For extra support and enhanced flavor, use two onion rings per burger instead of one.
- Cheddar cheese can be substituted with Swiss, provolone, or pepper jack based on personal preference.
- This recipe is ideal for keto or low-carb diets due to its bunless design.
- Ensure onion rings are thick enough to withstand cooking without breaking apart.
