    I did the Oklahoma version with paper thin cut sweet onion. After you smash the burger down, top with a big pile of the super thin onion and press it into the patty. When you flip and smash again the fat on the grill caramelizes the onion. I used an mandoline slicer to get the onion super thin. I made a double for myself. Amazing… you are welcome
