We all love juicy burgers. Oh yeah I mean take a look at this! This is comfort food at its best.
And for today's video this one was born out of necessity which in some
ways saved our nation from the great depression. This is making the burger
that changed history, a true national treasure aka the Oklahoma Onion Burger. So let's do it
Between 1929 and 1939 right after the stock market crashed there was a lot of uncertainties and
hunger in the united states. Meat was expensive so to fill up the burger they used onions. And for my
take on this amazing burger I'm gonna be using these. And at least to me they have a lot more
flavor than white sweet onions, so I definitely recommend them. Now the first thing we need to
do is to get these onions as thin as possible and obviously our first thought is to grab a knife and
go to town. But it really does not matter how much you try there's no way that you can be as precise
as a mandolin, so I highly recommend one but at the same time we all know that this tool can
be dangerous. The last thing we need is to get hurt. So here's my biggest tip whenever you're using one;
definitely use a guard for it. As always if you are interested on the ones I use always find it
on the description down below. Having a guard like this ensures that nothing will happen to
your fingers. Trust me I'm telling you that from experience. the mandolin is not only wonderful to
keep your fingers safe but it also makes the job a lot faster and he also keeps every single one
the same size, that is important so that we get wonderful results. But once I was done cutting
all of my onions this is what I was left with. As you can see they are so thin it's even hard
to distinguish what they are. I'm telling you get them as thin as you can because you will have an
amazing burger. The next important ingredient is the meat. Remember this is a cheap burger but at
the same time it does not need to be boring, so I'm using ground beef which is 80 /20. As you know that
means 80 percent meat and 20 fat, to me that is the perfect ratio for any burger. Before going outside
and grilling them I like to go ahead and make some balls out of it. This will speed up the process and
it will make the smashing really easy, because this burger is all about good technique. And I'm pretty
sure that once you make some of them man you're gonna make them all the time. Now we gotta remember
that this burger was made when there was not a lot of money to go around so you don't have to make
humongous balls, I was aiming for three ounces. Now the next ingredient is actually optional but I'm
pretty sure during the great depression there was not a lot of cheese like this. And we're talking
about the good old American cheese. Nothing melts as good as this! And for a burger it is perfect,
don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Now for the bread they normally use potato buns but hey
my favorite are these and if you have not seen my recipe on how to make them you should they are not
only easy to make but they are delicious. I like to call them Guga's buns. The last ingredients that
they usually put on these burgers are pickles and you better believe I'm gonna add some.
Sauce is also optional, usually they just throw in mustard but I wanna see how wonderful it tastes
and I'm gonna be using no sauce at all. But now that we have all of these ingredients ready all
there's left to do is to go ahead and make this amazing burger. The first thing to do is to smash
the patties once that's done you lay down a good amount of onions right on top, then you flip it
once and finish up the burger. But I know that sounds like a lot of talking and I agree with
you. So now I say it is enough talking and it is time to make this amazing burger. So let's do it!

All right everybody here we have our beautiful onion burgers Maumau. -I see a lot of onions there. -Yes a lot of onions you know a long time ago
during the depression they didn't have a lot of meat so to make it nice and full they fill it up with onions.
That's what they did. -That makes sense. -There's nothing wrong with onions everybody. -Not at all.
-Me and Maumau we love onions, Angel on the other hand hates them with passion. -Angel doesn't like a lot
of things. -Yes if there's anything green in there forget about it too he cannot have that either.
I'm excited for this everybody. -Lets go with the original? -Original. -I tried everything I could not to try this
burger. As you guys can see here it is extremely juicy everybody and I think that's the secret
of this burger, a nice messy burger is a better burger. -It's always good. -Cheers everybody. Cheers!
-Wow. -Sweet go ahead Maumau, go ahead. -I haven't even finished tasting it already and I'm already like
wow. -The sweetness of the onion is incredible. Here's the thing what happened is a lot of the
onions are either a little bit charred a little bit caramelized some of them are barely cooked
it's like a mix of all the onions together. -So it gives you a bunch of different textures at the
same time together on top of the awesome, awesome beef. -I see Maumau took a few bites before he
wants to even explain it. The onions is absolutely incredible. It's like caramelized onions with the
burning onions well you already know. -I'm not usually a pickle fan but I really, really like the
pickle here. -It goes well because you balance it out. Yeah. -You know what I mean. -Perfect complement
to this. -There's a lot of fat in here everybody it's 80/20 beef you know what I mean. It's not like lean
beef or anything like that. Let's stop eating because we have to try the other one. -Yes let's go for the next
on Maumau before we actually start getting full over here.-Look at this. -Now, the second one Maumau is
almost over already. All right let's go for this one right here. Now I'll tell you one thing, wow
wow I hope this is coming through the camera nicely everybody. I really hope you can see it. I
don't know if i got a nice shot of the midsection or not I was too excited just to cook this thing.
Okay nice greasy iImean take a look at this grease.
Mine is already split in half yours is not. -Mine is not but this thing is heavy. This thing is like...
-Okay Maumau, I say enough talking. -That's a big boy. Let's give it a try. Cheers everybody. -Cheers everybody.
-Cheese makes everything better, even though he's lactose intolerant but he likes cheese everybody. Huh Maumau?
-Oh my God. -It is so much better with the cheese. -The original they didn't have cheese? -The original
didn't have anything Maumau, they only had a little bit of patty and a lot of onions.
-Do it with the cheese guys if you don't do it with the cheese you don't know what your missing.
-Yeah and the cheese just brings it all together you know what I mean it just combines everything
it makes it more gooey, more texture, more flavorful, more everything. The cheese is definitely worth
putting it I'll tell you that right now. American cheese, not provolone, don't go fancy and crazy
some mustard cheese no no no no no no. -No craft singles cheese. -Yes the cheapest one that you can
find they have the special version where they come without the wrapper.-No, not the fancy. -No, no,no grab the
one with the wrapper everybody, go cheap and you're gonna be happy. -Store brand if you can. -Yeah you will be
happy. -The cheese one is a flavor bomb but I have to come back to the original cuz is too much. -You don't want
to take three pills just one pill? -Oh no no no no I'm already, this bomb is already exploding on
my stomach okay. -This is definitely amazing everybody definitely give it a try. You will not
regret it, there's absolutely nothing that can make this better. Don't put any ketchup, mayo
or nothing it doesn't need it, it doesn't. Where, what happened Maumau? The original is already on your belly?
